Oversee preparation of launch readiness portfolios, operational status updates, and one-pagers for internal and external launches for GBO or MLT governance meetings.
Drive the implementation and maintenance of a single GBO-wide software tool for project scheduling, resource loading, and operational status reporting where possible.
