• Translate CTO strategy into crisp requirements, milestones, exit criteria, and KPIs — then hold the line on them

• Shape product direction for foundation-model based autonomy architectures and model lifecycle tooling (evaluation, fine-tuning, verification, deployment)
• Run continuous discovery with engineers, operators, and executive stakeholders; turn findings into prioritized backlogs
• Prioritize ruthlessly across competing initiatives with small teams and aggressive timelines
