- Create alliances that improve market access, credibility, and revenue
- Represent Humppl at industry forums, conferences, and stakeholder discussions

Operations and Scale
- Translate strategy into clear priorities, milestones, and execution plans
- Build operating rhythms, dashboards, governance, and accountability
- Improve coordination across growth, marketing, product, technology, and delivery
- Recruit, mentor, and lead cross-functional teams
