- Strong ability to inspire and develop teams, fostering an engaged, high-performing culture
- Commercial acumen with strong financial capability and a commitment to quality care
- Highly effective communication skills with a visible, hands-on leadership style
- Sound knowledge of regulatory frameworks, quality standards and risk management
