What I'm looking for

I seek senior IT leadership roles driving enterprise SAP transformations, cloud enablement, and operations excellence in collaborative, outcome-focused organizations.

I am a strategic IT leader with 20+ years of global experience delivering ERP modernization, SAP S/4HANA programs, and multi-site IT operations across manufacturing, retail, and services. I align IT strategy with business objectives to modernize infrastructure, enable cloud adoption, and strengthen cybersecurity.

I have led large-scale SAP implementations, directed CoE and managed-service operations, and overseen multimillion-dollar P&L and budgets while directing teams of up to 60 across onshore/offshore locations. My work has driven measurable outcomes including reduced downtime, improved operational efficiency, and significant cost savings through infrastructure optimization and process reengineering.

I foster high-performing teams, implement governance and change management frameworks, and partner with C-level stakeholders to translate business goals into technology roadmaps that deliver resilience, compliance, and ROI.
