In partnership with ESO and Finance, design and execute strategies to improve vendor performance and cost base through consolidation, commercial optimization, and scope alignment.
• Innovation and Emerging Technology – Collaborate with SPIN and domain leaders to build and manage a selective pipeline of emerging technologies; evaluate and prioritize pilots across vendors and prospects. Define criteria, scorecards, and timelines for vendor evaluations; drive discovery/build decisions and remove roadblocks to accelerate adoption where value is proven. Build a forward-looking, multi-horizon plan across fintech and broader technology ecosystems to inform partnerships, investments, and internal capability building.
