What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead ERP manufacturing and supply chain transformations end-to-end—BPR through go-live—while aligning cross-functional teams, strengthening controls (e.g., 3-way matching), and delivering measurable cycle-time and adoption improvements.

I’m an Acumatica Senior Manufacturing Consultant with 8+ years of experience in ERP implementation, manufacturing operations, and supply chain transformation. I lead workstreams that connect Business Process Review, configuration, data conversion, UAT, training, and go-live execution across manufacturing, distribution, and Financial Core environments.

Across multiple clients, I’ve focused on practical outcomes—improving purchasing and order-to-receipt performance, reducing defects after launch, and tightening invoice controls. At Maple Leaf Foods, I led Acumatica workstreams across 4 plants, delivered 6 go-lives, and reduced post-launch defects by 18% while improving order-to-receipt accuracy by 26% across 3 sites.

I also bring a coaching mindset: I’ve clarified requirements with stakeholder groups in BPR workshops to reduce rework before configuration and guided teams through UAT and training for smoother adoption. My approach is consistent whether I’m coordinating cutover and data conversion, integrating purchasing with MRP and warehouse processes, or building executive-ready analytics with KPI dashboards and governance controls.
