+ Lead major contract negotiations (MSAs, SOWs, transition agreements), ensuring commercial terms balance customer growth and risk management.
+ Oversee health of customer portfolio: bookings realization, AR/inventory exposure, and profitability tracking.
**Operational Excellence & Change Leadership**
