• Acquired-Company Partnership: Serve as the primary point of contact for acquired-company stakeholders through migration, managing communication, expectations, and change management.
• Playbook Development: Codify each migration into a repeatable integration playbook with templates, checklists, data-migration runbooks, and lessons learned.
• Portfolio Management: Coordinate cross-team dependencies across four product lines and maintain a portfolio view of initiatives, milestones, and risks.
• Executive Reporting: Produce concise executive-level status reporting and escalate only true decision points, with options and a recommendation attached.
• Process Improvement: Identify and remove process bottlenecks and establish lightweight program-management practices that add speed, not overhead.
