Skills
In my extensive experience in SAP related projects I have taken up roles such as business consultant, solution architect, interim manager, and SAP specialist.
I combine strategic insight and business knowledge with hands‑on experience in business operations and technology. This background together with my deep functional expertise and technical skills allow me to quickly understand business needs, challenge them if needed, determine possible solutions and implement them. I am equally comfortable leading a workstream, challenging a business requirement, conducting a workshop with an operational team or rolling up my sleeves in hands-on analysis, configuration and specification.
- Business COnsulting
- INTERIM MANAGEMENT
- Functional Expertise
- Technical Expertise
One of my key differentiators is my analytical strength to quickly understand and (re)design complex processes across sales, supply chain, finance, tax, customs and reporting. Comfortable working with executive leadership as well as operational teams, I bring clarity, alignment of strategic and operational interests, and practical solutions. I maintain a strong overview of the overall architecture while ensuring that the essential details are aligned and well‑executed to support the overall design.
In my work I am a proactive, self‑driven professional who takes initiative and moves projects forward. My focus is on results, clear communication and future-proof maintainable solutions.
