• Deep technical fluency in networks (e.g., DWDMs, switches, routers, cabling, NICs), optical transport, and end-to-end connectivity solutions.

• Robust knowledge of network hardware and compute platform infrastructure, aligned with industry best practices and standards across network and compute domains.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a sharp focus on cost optimization, risk mitigation, and long-term value delivery.

• Skilled in structuring complex, multi-equipment capital deals, negotiating commercial terms, and driving vendor performance and accountability.

• Track record of cross-functional leadership, influencing internal and external executive stakeholders to steer major capital project decisions.

• Expertise in balancing technical, operational, and financial trade-offs in high-cost, high-impact environments, including defining payment milestones and contract levers.
