• 
  Investor Reporting & Insights: Lead the preparation of clear, insightful investor reports and management information summaries, translating complex financial data into compelling narratives about Ultrahuman’s growth and efficiency.

• 
  Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with engineering, operations, and product teams to model financial outcomes of projects (e.g., scaling a new production line or launching in a new market). Ensure that first-principles engineering decisions align with financial sustainability and long-term company goals.
