The six “Big Rocks” are organized into four major transformation initiatives: • Modularize the Portfolio • Transform IT through modularized systems and process enablement • Enable Service Delivery through customer support readiness • Scale Go-To-Market through three workstreams: Marketing & Management of Change, Compensation & Incentives, and Contract / Legal Terms & Conditions transformation

Key Responsibilities Program Governance & Executive Visibility • Establish and coordinate governance across the Modular Services Continuum initiative, including executive reviews, decision forums, steering committees, workstream governance, and operating rhythms. • Coordinate governance for the six major transformation workstreams (“Big Rocks”), ensuring alignment on priorities, dependencies, risks, outcomes, and cross-functional commitments. • Develop executive-level status reporting, dashboards, milestone tracking, business reviews, and strategic communications to provide clear visibility into progress, risks, and decisions. • Establish structured program rigor across planning, workstream readiness, implementation, governance, risk management, and post-launch follow-through, with clear mechanisms to track activities, timelines, obstacles, dependencies, decisions, and leadership actions.

Portfolio Strategy, Modularization & Roadmap Integration • Partner with services portfolio leaders across HP to define and maintain the modular portfolio framework, including Offers, Modifiers, Add-Ons, packaging strategies, and rationalization priorities. • Serve as the central integration point for Lifecycle Services (LCS), Managed Services (MS), and related portfolio transformation activities, consolidating improvement plans into a unified modularization roadmap. • Act as the central owner for integrating Managed Services (MPS, MDS, MCS, and Advise) roadmaps across multiple teams and organizations, ensuring short-term and long-term roadmap priorities are aligned to the broader services transformation strategy. • Maintain visibility into strategic initiatives, product plans, operational improvements, capability development efforts, and roadmap dependencies; identify overlaps, conflicts, gaps, opportunities, and planning needs across workstreams.

Cross-Functional Execution & Business Requirements • Act as a central integrator across Product Management, GTM, Operations, Finance, Marketing, Channel, and IT teams to translate strategic objectives into structured plans, requirements, milestones, and measurable outcomes. • Drive alignment between business requirements, operational requirements, and portfolio design activities to support operational scalability and long-term sustainability. • Identify, manage, and communicate program risks, issues, and dependencies with sufficient clarity to support timely escalation, decision-making, and mitigation. • Create clarity from ambiguity by translating unplanned or emerging business situations into actionable plans, ownership models, and resolution paths.

Stakeholder Alignment, Change Leadership & Communications • Build consensus among diverse stakeholder groups. • Drive organizational alignment around Modular Services Continuum goals and outcomes. • Influence stakeholders and leaders through consultative engagement, receptive listening, clear communication, and strong follow-through on commitments. • Facilitate collaboration between product management, operations, IT, marketing, and business leaders. • Facilitate cross-functional workshops to align portfolio, operations, GTM, and IT stakeholders.
