• Serve as product owner for marketing performance measurement tools and technologies, aligning with IT and MarTech teams to assess platforms, enhance data integration, and ensure the system supports advanced analytic needs.

• Champion a test and learn culture, designing statistically sound experiments—including A/B tests, geo holdouts, and incrementality tests—to quantify impact and fuel innovation.

• Maintain a “learning agenda” to prioritize experimentation, drive continuous improvement, and ensure output informs annual planning cycles.

• Monitor industry shifts in privacy, data regulations, and digital measurement methodologies to keep CocaCola’s capabilities leading-edge and future ready.
