2. Lead the design, development, and integration of full-stack solutions, ensuring alignment with business requirements and regulatory standards.
3. Build and manage a small, high-impact internal IT team while coordinating with offshore developers, AI consultants, and third-party vendors.
4. Own IT strategy, governance, cybersecurity, vendor management, and infrastructure (cloud, networks, endpoints).
5. Drive the transition from legacy/outsourced models to a hybrid internal structure with clear accountability.
6. Implement robust change management, access control, incident response, and disaster recovery processes.
7. Partner with executive leadership to align technology initiatives with business growth and digital innovation goals.
