  • Ensure the adoption and integration of cutting‑edge data platforms, software tools, and digital systems to enhance accuracy, scalability, and innovation in service delivery.
  • Allocate material, human, and financial resources to execute organizational policies, programs, and long‑term initiatives.
  • Authorize and structure the establishment of major departments, including hiring and appointing senior leadership roles.
  • Establish organizational objectives and formulate or approve policies, programs, and technology roadmaps that support overall business strategy.
  • Represent the organization or appoint delegates in negotiations, strategic partnerships, regulatory discussions, and other official functions.
