• Coordinate all aspects of digital adoption, with intimate understanding of the ACQ processes and practices, and always looking out for the best and most efficient ways to implement the transformation. This includes:

- Along those lines, actively search for new transformative solutions and tools maximizing ACQ delivery, enabling standardization, simplification, and automation in the ACQ process execution.
