What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead enterprise technology strategy and digital transformation, combining SAP, AI, cybersecurity, cloud, resilient infrastructure, governance, and commercial discipline to deliver measurable business value.

At Seven-Up Bottling Company, I lead enterprise technology strategy and delivery across business solutions, applications, infrastructure, cybersecurity, and IT service delivery for 2,000+ users. I’m establishing an AI and Automation Centre of Excellence while advancing SAP-integrated sales, distributor, and proof-of-delivery platforms.

I’ve delivered $1.5M in negotiated savings, led $1M+ in direct OPEX/CAPEX, and built resilient hybrid infrastructure, disaster recovery, SD-WAN, and identity services. My earlier work across beverage manufacturing, public health, and technology operations combines engineering depth, commercial discipline, and talent leadership.
