Senior SAP Finance/Controlling and Procurement Consultant

Summary

After my successfully completed Business Economics study in 2001 and a bachelor in IT, I followed a relevant SAP FICO education which made me now an experienced consultant with more than 20 years of hands on in SAP with a thorough knowledge of the FICO functionality and good knowledge of the integration aspects with the MM/WM/APO/GTS/SRM, SD and BW modules. in both ECC as in S4/HANA Environments.

After working for several consultancy companies, I took the step to be self-employed (together with Associates at first and then completely self-employed).

I have worked in different industries, but mostly in the international pharmaceutical, lifescience, healthcare and chemical industry.

My SAP portfolio varies from greenfield implementation projects and large acquisitions to improvement projects, smaller changes and maintenance/support activities.

During the SAP implementations, I was involved in all aspects of the project. From the scoping and design phase to the training, go-live and after-care phase. The roles in this varied from team member / consultant to being the lead for a specific area and being the connect between the business, the shared services and all other SAP IT parties involved.

In the maintenance roles, I was primarily the contact person, for prioritizing and solving incidents and changes. This in close cooperation with the business. I am well able to analyze and solve problems on an individual basis.

My good communication skills, and strong amiable personal qualities make me a good motivator and team player. I am a dedicated hard worker, pragmatic and result-oriented. Furthermore, I can be characterized as social, open, honest, direct and therewith an appreciated team member.
