Program Lead

I managed SAP and SAP data warehouse projects across my clients' SAP estate, covering SAP finance and global tax projects, with six project managers and over 60+ FTEs delivering complex and international projects.

I collaborated with the client's chief information officer (CIO) team to set up S/4HANA and the SAP Datasphere upgrade strategy. I was also in charge of developing a future-proof, end-state SAP architecture vision.

S/4HANA Public Cloud with SAC

Successfully led and delivered S/4HANA on the public cloud with Soft Actor-Critic (SAC) implementation for an oil and gas client. This is SAP's flagship public cloud project in the UK.
