You will be accountable for identifying, scoping, and driving projects that are of critical strategic importance to the division, ensuring the delivery of high-quality results even under tight deadlines. You will lead market intelligence efforts to support strategic decision-making, enabling effective prioritization for local sales units and providing insights into market growth and competitive positioning. Additionally, you will ensure that the division's strategic initiatives are well-defined and effectively executed, working closely with cross-functional teams and senior leaders to drive alignment and establish best practices, such as the use of scorecards, clear accountability structures, and incentive alignment. A key responsibility will be overseeing M&A activities, including search field definition, origination, and active acquisition projects. You will conduct comprehensive due diligence to assess the strategic fit, financial performance, and risks associated with potential acquisition targets. You will also be accountable for cascading the division's strategy and prioritized initiatives, working closely with Communications to ensure clarity and alignment. Finally, you will lead the preparation of high-impact presentations and documentation for executive management meetings, up to the ABB Executive Committee and Board of Directors, facilitating informed decision-making at the highest levels of the organization.
