Service & Support Design: Coordinate the design of a modern service and support operating model tailored to the high-stakes requirements of a unified Capital Markets landscape.
Execution Planning & Dependency: Shift the initiative from strategy to execution by developing a detailed, phased transition roadmap. Identify critical technical/operational prerequisites, map cross-functional dependencies, and prioritize "quick wins" alongside foundational architecture builds.
