2. Drive Portfolio Discipline and Investment Decisions
- Serve as the link between Bose-X and enterprise portfolio strategy
- Represent enterprise strategy in portfolio prioritization and investment discussions
- Define success metrics, learning milestones, KPIs, and investment gates for early-stage initiatives
- Support portfolio reviews with clear, data-driven recommendations (advance, pivot, partner, pause, or stop)
