• Drive a culture of shared security responsibility across the organization.

Value Creation

• Partner with the CFO to identify and execute technology-driven value creation opportunities that support EBITDA expansion and exit readiness.
• Lead technology due diligence and post-acquisition integration for M&A transactions, ensuring rapid value realization and minimal disruption.
• Develop and maintain IT financial models, total cost of ownership analyses, and ROI frameworks to justify technology investments.
• Prepare and present technology performance metrics, investment analyses, and strategic updates for the executive team.

People Leadership & Organizational Development

• Build, lead, and develop a high-performing technology organization capable of executing on a complex, multi-year transformation agenda.
