- Systems Architecture: Establishes and maintains a scalable martech architecture by defining data flows, integration standards, and system governance practices that support long-term growth without accumulating technical debt.
- Data Governance: Defines data governance standards across the martech ecosystem, including taxonomy, naming conventions, and quality controls, as new tools and AI workflows are introduced.
Cross-Functional Enablement
