- Protecting and developing site OT architecture in line with global standards

- Supporting decision-making processes through data analytics and OT-ITIL activities
- Building relationships with local OT teams, IT, digital departments, OEMs, integrators and auditors
- Working on both medium-term (1-3 years) and long-term (+25 years) OT strategies
For a company who:
- Operates a large international production network with more than 50 factories worldwide
