  • Drive the Long-Term Data & AI Strategy

    • Develop and execute the People Analytics roadmap; evolving from foundational data architecture and operational reporting to enterprise HCM integration, centralized data lake, advanced analytics, predictive modeling, and ultimately agentic AI-driven insights.

    • Partner with data and business systems teams to apply machine learning and predictive models to workforce data.

    • Shape the People Team’s long-term AI and data strategy, ensuring ethical use, compliance, and measurable business value.
