This individual will operate as an analyst and decision framer, as well as an agent of change and a mentor. If this sounds like you, we look forward to meeting you!

You are able to build order out of chaos by identifying systems and processes in need of increased efficiencies. You understand business operations and easily synthesize information to develop a recommended plan of action.

High emotional intelligence: The Business Lead must understand the underlying motivations not only of their leader, but also of themselves and others across the organization with whom they build relationships and influence.
