• Collaborate with Global Pricing, Marketing, and Market Access teams to establish launch price recommendations.
• Ensure launch pricing supports value positioning while maximizing long-term market potential.

Commercial Transformation

• Identify and lead pricing transformation initiatives that improve capabilities, tools, data quality, and operational efficiency.
• Drive adoption of digital pricing solutions, analytics platforms, CPQ tools, and AI-enabled pricing capabilities.
• Establish a continuous improvement culture focused on sustainable pricing excellence.

Leadership & Capability Building

• Lead and develop regional pricing talent and foster a high-performance team culture.
• Build pricing capabilities across country commercial organizations through coaching, training, and knowledge sharing.
• Act as a trusted advisor to regional leadership teams on pricing strategy and commercial decision-making.
• Influence cross-functional stakeholders without direct authority in a highly matrixed environment.
