• Build decision-ready financial models that inform sales strategy, pricing, go-to-market planning, productivity targets, and resource allocation across direct, channel, and partner-led motions. 

• Identify and lead opportunities to improve the Americas finance operating model, strengthening forecast discipline, decision quality, process efficiency, and the strategic value Finance brings to the business. 

• Lead or influence global Sales Finance initiatives that improve planning, forecasting, reporting consistency, and operating effectiveness across regions.
