  • Minimum FIVE (5) years of experience leading data-driven transformation initiatives within the utilities or broader energy sector, with a focus on strategic planning, stakeholder engagement, and change management.
  • Deep understanding of AI / ML technologies, modern data platforms (e.g., Snowflake, Databricks, AWS / GCP / Azure), and advanced analytics methodologies, with the ability to translate technical capabilities into strategic value propositions during client engagements
  • Proven experience across the business development lifecycle—including opportunity identification, capture strategy, and proposal development—while ensuring alignment with technical delivery.
  • Track record of leading large-scale AI and analytics engagements from concept through execution, while simultaneously expanding client relationships and uncovering new revenue opportunities.
  • Demonstrated ability to source, structure, and execute strategic partnerships between technology providers and business stakeholders to accelerate both delivery and market expansion.
  • Ability to engage and influence diverse audiences—from C-suite executives (CIO, CISO, CDO) to technical teams—bridging business objectives with technical solutions.
  • Skilled at motivating and guiding multi-disciplinary teams of AI and data specialists to deliver at scale while fostering a growth-oriented culture.
  • Exceptional communication, facilitation, and relationship-building skills that drive trust, collaboration, and commercial success.
