• Strong communication skills, able to adapt messaging for different audiences and ensure clarity of understanding.
• Proven people-leadership skills, capable of motivating teams in a dynamic environment and guiding them through change.
• Commitment to ethical AI practices, with an interest in emerging AI technologies essential for maintaining a competitive edge.
