Scoping & delivery quality - Raise the standard of how work is defined and handed to engineering, reduce overrunning projects, and make the speed-vs-quality call explicit on every piece of work. Discovery - Lead customer and market discovery across fans, venues and enterprise/brand partners, so we build the right things - especially in less-developed areas like fan engagement and CRM.
