• Facilitating the shift from a sell-in/shipment-oriented model to a consumer/POS-driven model by documenting current- and future-state workflows, supporting process redesign, and enabling adoption of new commercial KPIs and governance.
• Partnering with USAC leadership, HR, Finance, Commercial Excellence, and other enterprise functions to support role mapping, updated job responsibilities, change management, reskilling plans, and productivity tracking.
• Driving disciplined transformation execution by establishing decision-focused governance cadences, managing communications, identifying adoption barriers, and ensuring operating-model changes are embedded through customer planning cycles.
• Coordinating across CBG and enterprise transformation teams to ensure USAC commercial changes are aligned with broader enterprise direction while supporting consumer-model requirements and minimizing duplication, gaps, or rework.
