What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my ERP expertise in a collaborative environment, focusing on innovative product management and process optimization.

I am a results-driven ERP Product Owner with over 10 years of experience specializing in NetSuite and SAP ecosystems. My expertise lies in leading ERP implementations, driving process automation, and delivering cross-platform integrations. I have a solid foundation as a former IT Business Analyst, with a strong background in SAP Financial Accounting and Sales & Distribution, which has equipped me with the skills necessary for business process optimization.

Currently, I serve as a Team Lead – Product Manager at Foodspring GmbH, where I manage product management for NetSuite, Salesforce, and Celigo integration platforms. I have successfully improved data sync reliability by 30% and reduced order processing time by 25% through optimized backend integration. My experience spans both tech and e-commerce domains across Germany and India, where I have honed my agile product management and stakeholder engagement skills.
