ABOUT ELISABETH POIRÉ

I’m often brought in when decisions stall, not because of lack of data, but because of competing risks. I help senior leaders apply judgment, surface opportunity cost, and move from caution to intentional choice, particularly in complex technical and organizational systems. I’m deliberate about when to push and when restraint is the better strategic choice.I work at the intersection of strategy, operating models, and execution to help organizations clarify priorities, sequence initiatives, and make better decisions under uncertainty. My background spans enterprise-scale programs in AI, cloud, SaaS, and security compliance, where I’ve translated complex systems into measurable business outcomes.How I drive impact: • Shaping cross-functional operating models across engineering, business, and product teams (100+ contributors). • Portfolio and governance leadership—establishing prioritization, decision rights, and execution guardrails (SAFe SPC, AI governance frameworks). • Stewarding multi-million-dollar portfolios ($4M–$5M annually) with a focus on disciplined investment and sustainability. • Challenging default risk aversion by surfacing trade-offs, opportunity costs, and second-order effects to help leaders commit rather than defer. • People-first leadership: mentoring, relationship building, and trust at all levels.I thrive in mission-driven organizations that value workforce expertise, strategic clarity, and cross-functional collaboration.
