Description

Experienced SAP HCM and HR expert with over 19 years of experience in interim management and project leadership for complex SAP implementations and transformations. Proven success in leading international projects, process optimization, and managing on-site/offshore teams. Proficient in SAP core modules HCM, FI & CO, with in-depth knowledge of personnel management and payroll. Ready to take on the successful leadership of SAP projects and contribute to digital transformation.

In my career since 2017 as an interim manager and project leader, I have demonstrably managed large, international SAP Business Transformation projects successfully. A particular highlight was leading end-to-end projects for business process optimization, such as at TKE Elevator – Aufzüge GmbH, where I significantly contributed to the transformation of end-to-end processes and developed the future roadmap for HCM IT solutions. My ability to lead on-site and offshore teams, as well as my expertise in managing external partners, enables me to lead complex projects to success efficiently.

I possess in-depth knowledge of SAP core modules (FI, CO, HR, HCM), allowing me to grasp the technical and functional aspects of projects holistically. My experience in leading at least two end-to-end projects as a project manager, as well as my expertise in process optimization and the implementation of SAP solutions, such as the migration and outsourcing of payroll at Astellas Pharma, demonstrate my competence in executing demanding projects. Furthermore, I am experienced in SAP presales activities and translating business requirements into viable IT solutions.
