Utilization, Financial Impact, and Special Projects. Define how we measure space use (SF per head, cost per seat, production space relative to output), own the portfolio's impact on the AD&S P&L, and turn the findings into decisions to consolidate, densify, or expand. Take on special projects across finance, real estate, and facilities as they arise.
