WHAT I DO

Architecture meets procurement.

Connecting business needs, SAP architecture, purchasing strategy and partner selection — so both the commercial decision and the chosen solution can deliver.

01 / TRANSFORMATION & PROGRAMMES

Lead transformation end to end.

From defining objectives and transformation roadmaps to tenders, partner selection, programme governance and delivery — acting for clients or SAP partners.

02 / BUSINESS & SAP ARCHITECTURE

Make architecture work for business.

End-to-end target architecture across business processes, SAP and non-SAP systems; operating models, clean core and the right path through RISE, GROW or other deployment options.

03 / PURCHASING & PROCUREMENT

Make purchasing a strategic advantage.

Drawing on first-hand purchasing management and sourcing leadership: define tender requirements, compare vendors and commercial models, challenge proposals and choose partners who can truly deliver.

THE CONNECTING PRINCIPLE

Strategy has to survive delivery. Strong architecture and smart purchasing belong in the same decision.

MY PERSPECTIVE

Three perspectives.
One clear direction.

Transformation decisions look different depending on where you stand. My background combines purchasing and procurement leadership with experience on the client side, inside SAP and across its consulting-partner ecosystem — connecting commercial judgment with implementation reality.
