  2. Break down complexity and organizational silos, influence roadmaps, dive deep into system design and architecture, make technical tradeoffs, drive platform consolidation, and identify, resolve, define, and escalate mitigation plans for hard technical dependencies.
  3. Grow and develop a team of TPMs, while also building the foundations for the TPM practice.
  4. Simplify the technically complex and drive well-educated decisions across product, engineering, design, and data science representatives.
