What I'm looking for

As an ERP Manager at GSM Group of Companies, I have successfully managed SAP Business One implementations, ensuring projects are delivered on time and within budget. My role involves training end users, migrating legacy data, and optimizing applications to meet specific business needs. I pride myself on my ability to identify risks proactively and provide innovative solutions to technical constraints.

With a strong background as a SAP Business One Consultant, I have honed my skills in project management and customer relationship building. I have led numerous full projects, including implementations for notable companies such as Nano Appliances and GSM Tanzania Limited. My academic credentials, including a Master's in Applied Project Management, complement my practical experience, allowing me to approach challenges with a strategic mindset.
