FRANCOIS NEL
@francoisnel
I lead ERP and digital transformation delivery, improving finance systems, automation, and project outcomes internationally.
What I'm looking for
I've led business transformation and enterprise systems delivery at Coca-Cola Eurasia Africa Group, managing SAP FI/MM, Workday, and Concur initiatives across multiple countries. I delivered the first Workday and Concur integration, achieving approximately 75% savings against external implementation estimates.
More recently, I've designed workflow automation solutions using Python, Make.com, and AI-based tools, while teaching Project Management and Business Systems. I bring end-to-end delivery experience spanning requirements, testing, deployment, change management, supplier coordination, and post-go-live support.
