  • Experience leading architecture discussions with technical leads, architects, and senior customer stakeholders
  • Strong understanding of platform operational excellence, including security, governance, performance, reliability, and cost optimization
  • Demonstrated ability to drive customer adoption, consumption, and measurable business outcomes through technical leadership
  • Strong stakeholder management and cross-functional leadership skills, with the ability to align teams without formal authority
