Strategy
Business-Driven Mindset

• Align with Strategic Goals: Understand and prioritize data initiatives that support business performance, transparency, and GTOC objectives.
• Proactive Identification of Opportunities: Regularly scan internal processes and external trends to propose new data projects that deliver measurable impact.
• Context & Narrative: Present insights with clear storytelling, highlighting both the "what" (data trends) and the "why" (business impact).

Adaptability and Agility

• Agile Mindset: Participate in sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives to maintain momentum and responsiveness.
• Future Pipelines: Remain alert to changing business needs or technological advancements; pivot priorities accordingly to sustain long-term vision.

• Trust & Compliance: Embed governance and compliance measures to build organizational trust in data outputs.
• Continuous Monitoring: Work with data engineering and governance teams to implement automated checks that sustain data accuracy and relevance.
