Led data migration and governance initiatives supporting analytics and reporting platforms, consolidating Product, Customer, Vendor, and Location data from multiple source systems (Navision, DataFlo, IQVIA, PLM) into a harmonised ERP and reporting foundation.

Managed selective migration and harmonisation of product master data to ensure consistency, regulatory compliance, and analytics readiness within a regulated pharmaceutical environment. Defined data ownership models, business rules, and survivorship logic to establish golden records, improve data quality KPIs, and safeguard reporting accuracy across enterprise analytics consumers. Planned and delivered migration and governance workstreams using Agile/SAFe practices in Azure

DevOps, ensuring alignment between data readiness, reporting dependencies, and migration milestones. Facilitated stakeholder workshops and governance boards to align business, analytics, and IT teams on

migration scope, reporting impact, risk mitigation, and compliance requirements. Acted as a liaison between business and IT, translating reporting and analytics requirements into executable user stories and acceptance criteria, ensuring audit-ready and value-driven migration outcomes.

Manufacturing Led SAP BW 7.x to BW/4HANA readiness and migration discovery for an enterprise manufacturing client, establishing a fact-based baseline across system usage, data volumes, custom code, and reporting dependencies. Executed BW/4HANA Readiness Check and Transfer Toolbox assessments, translating technical findings into business-facing migration options (Shell, Remote, System Conversion).

Assessed classic BW objects, data flows, and reporting layers against BW/4HANA target architectures, guiding transition decisions aligned to ADSO- and CompositeProvider-based models. Performed usage, reporting, and dependency analysis to identify candidates for redesign, retirement, or consolidation, reducing conversion scope and long-term technical debt. Evaluated data growth, retention, and persistence strategies in collaboration with technical teams, contributing to HANA sizing, performance planning, and migration risk mitigation. Produced executive-ready migration recommendations covering scope, timeline, reporting impact, risks, and cost considerations, enabling informed go/no-go decisions and continuity planning.

Led enterprise-scale data migration and integration workstreams for Oracle to SAP S/4HANA transformations, ensuring downstream BW and analytics reporting continuity across global landscapes. Defined data load sequencing and dependency models, aligning master and transactional data

availability with analytics consumption, reconciliation, and reporting requirements. Designed preload and post-load validation frameworks, safeguarding record-count, financial, and referential integrity critical for BW and enterprise reporting platforms. Partnered with analytics and reporting teams to ensure HANA-optimised data consumption readiness and minimise disruption to BW and downstream reporting during transition. Governed mock loads, dress rehearsals, and cutover execution, reducing go-live risk and ensuring uninterrupted reporting during high-risk migration windows. Established migration governance, KPIs, and executive-level dashboards, providing visibility into readiness, risk, and remediation progress across multi-vendor programs. Coordinated global delivery teams under Agile/SAFe, maintaining predictable execution across regions and vendors.
