## Tactical Playbook
- Leverage her mastery of institutional mechanics (e.g., PPBE); frame proposals as systematic, data-driven 'debugging' solutions to specific execution friction points.
- Anticipate a firm, top-down alignment strategy. Ensure all pitches explicitly map to her defined 'North Star' priorities and bypass internal bureaucratic resistance.
- Embrace 'collaborative disruption' by prioritizing rapid, scalable software-driven delivery over legacy hardware cycles, expecting her to centralize oversight to enforce enterprise coherence.
