Message

At Cognizant, I manage delivery of a portfolio of SAP Analytics projects, coordinating scope, schedule, budget, risks, and stakeholder communication. I also lead a cross-functional team of 15 across India, the UK, and the Netherlands.

I coordinated the Analytics team’s migration to SAP S/4HANA RISE, which finished with zero issues in the Analytics environment. I also led an SAP Analytics upgrade that resulted in zero critical or high issues.

Before Cognizant, I managed analytics projects at Stratesys and led an enterprise analytics implementation for the Spanish Government at Inetum. Earlier, I implemented SAP analytics and reporting solutions at NTT Data and Accenture, including international SAP ERP rollouts.
