About the Team:

The Strategic Initiatives team implements company strategy as defined by Executive Leadership. We operate on a project basis, managing initiatives that are expected to drive the most scalable short, mid and long-term growth for the business. The team oversees our key initiatives end-to-end – starting with an analysis-fueled go/no-go proposal to our Executive Team, and advancing through the cross functional leadership/execution of the strategy. The team is highly collaborative, leading cross functional working groups that require close partnership with senior stakeholders across the Revenue, Product, Marketing, Finance, Legal, and People teams. Categories of projects we lead include: GTM/commercialization strategy for our latest innovations and product launches, M&A diligence and integration, market expansion analysis and implementation (both geographic and segment based), and many others. While we have partners and stakeholders across the organization, we operate in lockstep with the C-Suite, who has a vested interest in each initiative we run.
