• Establish robust tracking mechanisms to monitor benefits realization over time, ensuring sustainability beyond initial implementation
• Challenge and refine business cases to maximize value delivery and eliminate low-impact activities
• Provide regular, transparent reporting on productivity outcomes to leadership, highlighting achievements, gaps, and corrective actions
• Provide hands-on leadership during key transition phases, including pre-go-live readiness, cutover, stabilization, and post-implementation support
• Proactively identify risks across initiatives, business units, and process towers, assessing both delivery and operational impacts
• Develop and implement mitigation strategies to address risks early, minimizing disruption to ongoing finance operations
• Ensure strong issue management discipline, including root cause analysis, escalation, and timely resolution
