Financial acumen and working understanding of financial concepts and statements
Familiar with the change management concepts and how to influence the organization to move forward in the decided direction
Expert level prompt engineering proficiency using advanced Generative AI tools, such as Microsoft CoPilot, OpenAI Pro, Gemini Pro, and others
