A data-driven mindset - you use insight and evidence to influence, prioritise and shape strategy

Executive presence and gravitas - you know how to engage, influence and challenge senior leaders with confidence and credibility

Outstanding communication skills - clear, concise, and compelling, whether facilitating in a room, writing strategy, or coaching one-on-one

A resilient and growth-oriented mindset - able to lead through ambiguity, manage complexity and adapt quickly to change

A passion for building inclusive cultures - you know that diverse perspectives are not a nice-to-have, but a leadership imperative

Strong coaching instincts - you elevate others, build trust quickly, and know how to unlock performance across teams and individuals

The ability to scale your thinking - you can zoom out to see the enterprise picture, then dive deep to ensure delivery and detail are executed brilliantly
