What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead high-impact SAP Finance transformation engagements, combining S/4HANA solution delivery, C-suite stakeholder management, and AI-enabled finance automation.

I've led SAP S/4HANA Finance transformation programs for Al Mosafer, Asyad Group, Occidental Petroleum, OQ, EY, and PwC. At Asyad, I led the One-SAP consolidation program across six business units, taking three live through design, configuration, testing, go-live, and hypercare.

I've delivered SAP Finance, Treasury, Joint Venture Accounting, OpenText VIM, Revenue Recognition, and Power BI solutions across Oil & Gas, logistics, real estate, pharma, and manufacturing. I combine C-suite workshop facilitation, solution architecture, and AI-enabled finance automation, including Copilot Studio, Gemini AI, iRPA, and process automation.
