- Excellent cross-functional leadership; able to influence without formal authority and drive decisions with senior stakeholders.
- Comfortable working with Engineering leaders; able to translate technical constraints into clear business implications.
- Experience working in the ANPR Enforcement market, or alternatively in regulated environments and/or products requiring high availability, safety, security or compliance.
- Exposure to both hardware-enabled solutions and lifecycle/obsolescence management (where applicable).
