As a function we are embedded into these performance rhythms to keep a finger on the pulse of the business and bring the right data and insight to enable agility in strategic and tactical course correction.

It champions best‑in‑class ways of working by co‑creating processes, elevating collaboration standards, and continually optimizing how we engage with our partners.
