Kene Ene

I am an Operations and Technology Consultant with cross-disciplinary expertise spanning supply chain transformation, artificial intelligence, and engineering systems design. My career reflects a consistent ability to bridge strategic vision with technical execution — driving large-scale digital transformations that improve efficiency, compliance, and enterprise resilience.

At IBM, I lead end-to-end SAP S/4HANA ERP programs for clients, directing system design, testing, and post-launch stabilization for over 10,000 users across finance, procurement, inventory management, and asset management. I have led the resolution of thousands of system defects, redesigned procurement governance structures , and developed AI agents that reduced test-operations analysis time by 60%, enabling more data-driven executive decisions. My leadership of 80+ cross-functional testers, developers, data engineers, and cybersecurity specialists demonstrates operational command over complex, multi-stakeholder ecosystems.

Beyond IBM, I have applied technical rigor to engineering and research innovation. My bioengineering research at the University of British Columbia combined process control, genetic engineering, and reinforcement learning to improve biomanufacturing efficiency and vaccine logistics — reducing cold-chain costs by 50% in collaboration with Sanofi and securing a $300K venture pledge for a sustainable wastewater-to-carbon-credit project. Earlier at Ballard Power Systems, I optimized hydrogen fuel cell manufacturing, cutting defect probability by 60% and improving throughput via process automation using Java, ImageJ and Excel VBA.

Throughout my career, I have driven measurable results through structured problem-solving, data-driven decision-making, and an emphasis on scalable process design. My experience spans the full supply chain lifecycle — from strategy and sourcing to manufacturing, quality control, and distribution — underpinned by advanced use of enterprise technologies such as SAP ERP, hybrid cloud platforms, and AI-based optimization tools.

As a next-generation operations leader, my ambition is to design and oversee systems that unite people, processes, and technology to deliver sustainable growth and social impact. I believe I can achieve this via Program Manager, Product Manager or Enterprise Solution Architect roles within Operations and Supply Chain business units.
