Zurich, Switzerland
Senior SAP and analytics leader with 20+ years of experience delivering SAP BW/BW/4HANA, S/4HANA and data platform solutions across supply chain, manufacturing, utilities and consumer goods. I combine deep hands‑on SAP and data expertise with project and programme leadership, architecture and governance, and stakeholder management in complex international environments. A key strength is flexibility: I can credibly operate as a hands‑on expert, project or programme lead, solution / platform architect or business‑facing advisor, depending on what the situation needs most. I move comfortably between technical topics, process and data design, delivery planning and management‑level communication, always keeping business value and practicality at the centre. Recent assignments at Inter IKEA Supply, Barry Callebaut, Heineken, Rieter and Oerlikon have sharpened my understanding of how supply chain, planning, manufacturing and data/technology teams must work together in matrix organisations. I am used to aligning product, platform, business and supplier stakeholders and helping them make realistic decisions about priorities, scope and trade‑offs. At 57, I am not waiting for retirement. I completed an MSc in Information Systems Management in 2024, maintain a PMP certification and continue to build my skills in modern data and analytics technologies. I enjoy roles where experience, curiosity and structure are needed to stabilise and improve complex environments, and where a flexible profile that can cover several roles is seen as a clear advantage.
