• Lead governance for RA deliverables, including submissions, notifications, and audits tied to M&A/D activities
• Drive cross-functional alignment on regulatory timelines, dependencies, and resource planning
• Provide executive-level reporting on regulatory risks, readiness, and compliance status during strategic transactions
