    • Revenue, gross margin, and operational efficiency across business units, accounts, and headcounts.
    • Headcount, capacity, and delivery performance.
    • Sales pipeline (including forecast) and client performance.
    • Recruiting performance, including time-to-fill, placement rates, funnel conversion, and hiring velocity.
    • HR and people metrics, including retention, attrition, tenure, engagement, and performance trends.
  • Oversee analytics delivery for executive reporting, forecasting, and operational insights.
  • Ensure leadership can rely on a single source of truth.
• Internal Systems & Platform Strategy
