Skilled in working across global teams and fostering collaboration between offices and functions.
Strong analytical capabilities, with a track record of using data insights to inform BD activities and identify growth opportunities.
Familiar with contributing to strategic pitches and panel submissions, and building relationships to support cross-selling initiatives.
Confident in using technology and BD tools to generate actionable insights and support decision-making.
