About Ivan
I help organizations secure and streamline their SAP landscapes while enabling business growth.
With over 15 years of SAP experience across automotive, telecommunications, and consumer goods industries, I specialize in SAP Security, GRC, and access governance transformations. I go beyond operational support — focusing on reducing risk, improving compliance (SOX), and optimizing processes through automation.
I have led initiatives such as FFID usage reduction, access control redesign, and implementation of scalable security frameworks in complex, global environments.
What sets me apart is a combination of deep SAP expertise and a strong business mindset — I understand not just how systems work, but how they support real business outcomes.
👉 Typical engagements:
•SAP Security & GRC transformation
•Access risk analysis and mitigation
•Role design and optimization
•Audit (SOX) readiness and compliance
•Process automation and governance improvements
