Strategic lens: connects details to the big picture and back again, and can support program-level thinking rather than operating purely tactically. Flexibility: thrives in high-growth scenarios, is comfortable with shifting timelines and priorities, and adjusts quickly to new contexts. Hiring and people development: can recruit, onboard, and develop field and state-level staff, and can manage outside direct authority. Clear communicatio
