• Coordinate and drive supplier, carrier, and OEM escalations, ensuring timely resolution of complex issues while leading root cause analysis, corrective actions, and long-term service improvements.

• Provide technical governance and operational leadership by making risk-based decisions, managing problem and change activities, and collaborating with global teams to improve network resilience, standards, and operational excellence.
