• Establish and oversee program governance mechanisms to ensure accountability within NATO entities and external stakeholders, actively manage interdependencies, and prioritize risks across ACPV’s lifecycle while maintaining coherence across the Enterprise.

• Design and implement frameworks and strategies to plan for ACPV’s future evolution within NATO’s digital transformation, integrating innovative tools, practices, and long-term enterprise cybersecurity objectives into its roadmap.
