Translate Requirements into Deliverables: Break down complex security workflows (e.g., data classification, policy enforcement, incident management, web protection) into crisp product requirements that engineering teams can execute efficiently.
Release Execution & Validation: Drive feature execution from initial grooming through sprint execution, release planning, acceptance validation, and release readiness.
Complex Problem Solving: Using available metrics, engineering inputs, and customer data, resolve technical trade-offs, help prioritize customer requests, and identify functional dependencies across DLP and Encryption.
