Beginning my career in the public sector, I was exposed to large-scale IT modernization programs where I played a pivotal role in transitioning from legacy systems to ERP solutions. This experience gave me a deep understanding of governance, compliance, and process standardization at scale. Transitioning into the private sector, I expanded my expertise by leading implementations for manufacturing and oil & gas industries, where efficiency, safety, and process integration were top priorities.

With over 36 years of diversified IT experience spanning across public and private enterprises, I bring a rare blend of strategic vision, technical expertise, and operational execution to every engagement. My career journey has been shaped by leading complex IT projects, pioneering ERP implementations, and guiding multinational teams through digital transformation initiatives.
My expertise centers on SAP implementation and support, with hands-on experience in S/4 HANA migration, data cleansing, data migration, and audit-driven IT environments. I have successfully spearheaded projects that transformed business processes across procure-to-pay (P2P) and order-to-cash (O2C) cycles. I am also an early evaluator of Artificial Intelligence applications in enterprise IT.
