Own the five-year plan end to end: calendar, inputs, topline and cost assumptions, scenario logic, country and channel outputs, and the materials that drive leadership decisions.
Own the annual budget from kickoff to sign-off: governance, assumptions, review cycles, and alignment between topline targets, cost plans and strategic priorities, in close partnership with FP&A.
Run the quarterly target-setting process: translating the annual plan into targets across countries and channels, calibrating with country leaders and channel owners so targets are realistic, economically grounded and operationally deliverable.
Hold the planning rhythm together: define the cadence, templates, decision points and ownership; track dependencies; surface trade-offs early; improve planning quality, transparency and speed over time.
Turn ambiguity into structured answers: frame open business questions as planning problems, run the scenario and sensitivity work behind decisions, and produce executive-ready materials that are clear about the recommendation, not just the analysis.
