Summary

5for1! As an analyst, engineer, coach, sparring partner and consultant, I turn requirements into reality from idea through implementation to successful go-live. I actively and passionately shape processes and applications as a bridge between the business and SAP worlds!

For you, this means that from day one I’ll start strong by analyzing FIT/GAP, getting to know stakeholders, spotting optimization opportunities, and setting the course for efficient, goal-driven collaboration.

I prefer a personal and straightforward approach, with respectful and appreciative manners. As a helpful, thinking team member, I bring clarity to the contractual scope as a T-shaped generalist and connect your islands of knowledge across your E2E process chains.
