• Execution Discipline: Takes defined problems and drives them through to completion; manages multiple priorities effectively and maintains a high bar for quality and reliability
• Systems Thinking: Understands how tools, workflows, and dependencies connect; looks for ways to improve how systems operate together, not just individual components
