• Have owned complex, high-stakes programs where errors carried real financial or regulatory risk
• Are comfortable working directly with regulations, guidance, and compliance requirements
• Naturally think in terms of controls, documentation, and audit readiness
• Can operate independently, create structure, and drive execution
