This has included <strong>working within global matrix structures, defined hierarchies, and stringent financial and governance guardrails<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1059\" data-end=\"1384\">Across <strong>APAC and European markets<\/strong>, I have led digital-first, full-funnel marketing strategies with direct responsibility for P&amp;L ownership, budgeting, forecasting, and ROI measurement.
