Pricing Strategy: Partner with Sales and Product leadership to evaluate pricing models and revenue structures to maximize top-line growth and margin retention. 

Executive Communication & Corporate Development 

Board Reporting: Synthesize complex financial data into concise, high-impact narratives and presentations for the Board of Directors and external investors. 

Corporate Development: Support the CFO in evaluating inorganic growth opportunities, including M&A due diligence, valuation modeling, and post-merger integration planning.
