    • Collaborate closely with various department heads to strengthen the resilience of operational and IT systems, directly troubleshooting and strategizing in critical areas.
    • Engage hands-on in the evaluation and enhancement of resilience measures to ensure they meet the evolving needs of the business.
  • Leadership & Team Management:
    • Lead an impactful risk and resilience team, setting clear goals and expectations while actively supporting their professional development and daily challenges.
    • Create an environment of shared knowledge and mutual support, stepping in to resolve conflicts and facilitate collaboration.
