• Build numerical frameworks and KPI scorecards that accurately benchmark IT cost-efficiency and operational performance over time
• Leverage AI tools and automated financial modeling to continuously optimize forecasting cycle times and surface cost-saving opportunities
• Reconcile vendor accounts, oversee multi-year commitment lifecycles, and provide predictive modeling to reduce overall technology financial risk
