• Influence and align senior stakeholders across EMEA, APAC and North America, navigating different business priorities, time zones and execution dependencies
• Represent regional requirements in global integration forums and drive resolution where regional and global priorities conflict
• Build strong working relationships across acquired and acquiring organizations to accelerate decision-making and adoption

• Support complex transaction requirements such as carve-outs, transition service arrangements, entity or system migrations and cross-border dependencies, as applicable
• Coordinate readiness across functions and markets while balancing global integration standards with local regulatory and operational requirements
• Partner with Legal, Risk and other control functions to ensure integration execution reflects transaction constraints and regulated-environment requirements
