PROFILE

I am a hardworking and conscientious SAP Analyst specializing in both the SAP R/3 and Business One softwares. My latest project was a full life cycle implementation of Business One for an extrusion cutting company based in England, whom were transitioning from SAGE and ACT platforms. My most recent SAP R/3 position was that of Business and Production Process Lead for a global automotive supplier (Detroit, USA), in which I was responsible for developing, analyzing and maintaining a multiple SAP system landscape (ECC 4.7, 5.0 and 6.0). I have over 8 years SAP experience, with full module exposure, working in both core and maintenance team environments. Secondary knowledge includes PTP, PM and QM. I have partaken in multiple projects, including full life cycles, in 6 different countries (USA, UK, India, Hungary, Italy and Mexico). I am a strong team player, able to lead and participate, but am equally capable of working independently. Additionally, I am educated to Degree and Masters Level, having studied and graduated from Lancaster University (England), gaining a BSc 2.1 HONS in Business Studies and a MSc in Advanced Marketing Management.
