• Proven success in leading media planning and execution across multiple channels and audiences.

• Deep knowledge of marketing measurement frameworks, KPIs (e.g., MDP, pipeline, ACV), and experience presenting results to senior leaders.

• Strong collaboration and influencing skills, with the ability to drive alignment across complex, matrixed teams.
