What is the Board-Level ML Engineering Career Frameworks course about?

ML engineers and tech leads are increasingly called on to justify investments, risk posture, and scalability to executive stakeholders. Yet career paths often remain siloed in technical delivery, lacking the structure to transition into strategic roles. Without clear frameworks, high-potential talent is under-leveraged, and organizations struggle to align innovation with oversight, especially in hybrid work environments where visibility and coordination are fragmented.
