I am proud to serve as the Management Consultant responsible for Digital Transformation and interim Technology Leader at Thy Opet, Turkey’s leading aviation fuel company, as beginning of 2024. Thy Opet is a joint venture between two industry leaders, combining the standards and expertise of both partners. Our Technology Group consists of three main units: Information Technology (Infrastructure and Cyber Security Unit, Enterprise Resource Planning Unit) and Operational Technology Unit. Key Projects and Achievements: We are leading a comprehensive transformation from SAP R3 ERP to a Greenfield S/4HANA structure. This project involves the consolidation of independent systems, redesigning our SAP landscape to meet modern business needs, and integrating real-time data, mobile, and cloud solutions. The project roadmap includes preparation and planning, system analysis and design, implementation and integration, testing and training, and finally, go-live and stabilization phases. This transformation is critical for enhancing operational efficiency, regulatory compliance, and rapid response to audits and business requirements. Digitalization of Operational Processes We have identified and digitalized key workflows, including the automation of field operations with tablet-based systems integrated with SAP. Risk Management and Audit Compliance All findings from Koç Holding and Turkish Airlines IT audits have been addressed. We have established robust risk management plans (short, medium, and long-term) and aligned our processes with digital transformation objectives. Project Leadership and Stakeholder Engagement As the technology decision-maker, I ensure seamless daily operations and the successful, timely completion of all planned projects. I coordinate cross-functional teams, manage stakeholder expectations, and drive continuous improvement through regular project reviews and transparent communication.
