In addition to this, you have:

Business acumen: Strong skills in business modeling and an ability to assess the commercial potential of technical innovations.
Leadership experience: Proven ability to lead teams and initiatives, with a track record in change management and process improvement.
Personal strengths: A proactive mindset, excellent communication skills, cultural awareness, a collaborative spirit, and a team player.
