• Develop and execute a Professional Services knowledge management strategy, ensuring effective creation, curation, and maintenance of delivery methodologies, playbooks, templates, and internal best practices that support consistent, high-quality execution.
• Define, implement, and monitor Professional Services operational metrics and dashboards, such as utilization, margin, backlog, delivery performance, forecast accuracy, and customer satisfaction, using insights to drive continuous improvement.
• Partner with IT, business systems, Finance, and Services leadership to evaluate, implement, and optimize Professional Services technologies, including PSA tools, resource management platforms, analytics, and automation solutions.

• Mentor and develop Services Operations leaders and managers, fostering a collaborative, high-performance environment focused on delivery excellence and continuous improvement.
