What I'm looking for

I seek leadership roles managing SAP S/4HANA implementations or support in collaborative teams, focusing on end-to-end delivery, continuous improvement and knowledge transfer.

I am a seasoned SAP Project Manager and senior functional consultant with over 18 years of experience across SAP MM, WM, SD, FI, HCM, PS and ABAP. I have led three end-to-end lifecycle implementations, multiple S/4HANA migrations (1709, 1909) and numerous support and roll-out projects, driving project planning, execution, testing, training and post-go-live support.

I specialize in ASAP/Activate delivery, cross-module integration and change management, with strong hands-on configuration, mentoring and stakeholder-management skills. I consistently focus on timely delivery, cost control, risk mitigation and knowledge transfer to ensure sustainable SAP operations and high user adoption.
