IT Manager at PPG leading data and analytics projects, including an $8 million master data initiative across five locations.

Message

At PPG, I lead a three-member IT project management team delivering data and analytics initiatives across the organization. Our portfolio ranges from 30-day projects to work planned over two years, with budgets from around $40,000 to $8 million.

As Senior Information Technology Project Manager, I spearhead a Connect PPG stream to develop a tool for managing material, customer, and product master data as part of the SAP S4 implementation. I oversee project resources and a 35-person team across five locations.

Earlier at PPG, I maintained and enhanced two in-house applications: one for production planning and financial management, and another for e-invoicing. I also led e-commerce projects involving PIM by Informatica and DAM by OpenText.

At 3M EMEA Shared Service Center, I supported SAP R3 MM implementation and worked on process mapping, optimization, and master data setup. Before that, at Volvo Group Trucks Operations, I designed and delivered ERP training and served as Scrum Master for the PSP Training SCRUM team.
