"You mentioned earlier in the interview process that you were struggling with employee retention on (XYZ) team. I have an incredible onboarding strategy that took my current company from a 35% turnover rate to just 5% in twelve months. I will turn this pain point around for you."

Think of your answer as your 'elevator pitch' or your qualifying statement to seal the deal. If the interviewer asks this question towards the end, you should focus your answer on highlighting the most salient features of your application rather than bringing in new pieces of information.
Ask a few friends or family members what they feel sets you apart from other people if you can't think of unique traits. Their observations may help you understand how you are perceived. If you do already have a clear idea of what sets you apart, share that information confidently. Remember that in an interview, you are your most influential advocate.

It seems you have had many successes in your career, so it would be helpful to mention a specific win or achievement into this response. Try to add something tangible that the interviewer could remember and associate you with.
