Senior SAP Analytics Cloud and BW4HANA consultant delivering enterprise reporting, planning and integrations.
What I'm looking for
I’m an experienced SAP consultant with over 19+ years delivering scalable, high-impact SAP Data Warehouse solutions across automotive, utilities, logistics, and pharmaceutical industries. I specialize in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC), BW4HANA, and DataSphere for advanced reporting, planning, and data integration.
I lead end-to-end data and reporting solutions—designing conceptual/logical data models, conceptualizing integration strategies, and transforming business requirements into reliable BI deliverables. I bring a strong technical repertoire across data modeling, ABAP, and SAC development, supported by certifications in SAC and BW4/HANA.
I’ve collaborated with organizations including Volvo, Cadent Gas, Heineken, and Johnson & Johnson to streamline reporting, enhance data consistency, and align BI processes with business objectives. I use TOGAF for enterprise architecture and bring structured enterprise thinking to improve governance, scalability, and usability of analytics.
As a skilled leader and communicator, I excel in cross-functional, multicultural teams across Asia, Europe, and North America. Recently, I designed BW/4HANA data models and built SAC dashboards with dynamic filters, drill-down capabilities, and performance-focused cutover and stabilization support—ensuring dashboards and reports meet business-critical needs.
