  6. Stakeholder Management. Facilitate collaboration with key internal strategy & operations partners, including Canada market teams and North America functional teams (Visa Commercial Solutions, Visa Direct, Consumer Payments, etc.), to ensure effective alignment of priorities and strategies within matrix organization.
  7. Insights & Thought Leadership Development. Generate meaningful data-driven insights and thought leadership through analyzing Visa data, market reports and benchmarks. Maintain view of relevant industry trends and market developments, monitor, analyze and develop executive summaries and strategic responses to competitor strategies.
