  • Create content for the cluster Quarterly Business Reviews (QBR) and assist in the creation of content for Monthly Business Reviews (MBR).
  • Promote a culture of continuous improvement and efficiency in driving governance simplification, enabling high-quality decision-making, and aligning with wider corporate governance.
