• Supporting succession planning and leadership development for critical commercial roles and high-potential talent pipelines
• Partnering with Talent Acquisition to calibrate hiring decisions, improve interview rigor, and strengthen overall hiring quality
• Building talent mapping strategies for key roles and proactively identifying future workforce needs across global markets
