The Project Management EVA will serve as a high-level strategic, administrative, and project execution partner to Mitch Lazar, ensuring that his vision, initiatives, and active projects are translated into clear plans, structured workflows, and consistent progress. This role anchors the CEO’s ideas into actionable, trackable projects while maintaining clarity, prioritization, and momentum.
