Senior IT Business Partner driving SAP value, savings, and compliant transformation.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Strategic IT Business Partner with 35+ years delivering measurable business value through technology in multinational organizations. I specialize in SAP and ERP/CRM rollouts, turning strategy into execution that improves cost, efficiency, and compliance.
I’ve generated USD 15M annual savings through SAP Concur rollout across 6 countries, boosted labor recovery from USD 237K to USD 2.6M, and delivered 99% automated supplier payments with 99% reconciliation accuracy at LATAM Airlines. I also lead governance with 94% PM methodology adherence across South America portfolios.
I direct teams up to 150 professionals and manage portfolios exceeding USD 13M CAPEX/OPEX, partnering with C-level stakeholders to align multi-vendor delivery and minimize go-live risk. My approach blends program/portfolio management, digital transformation, and risk/change leadership—so outcomes are repeatable and measurable.
