Senior Business Solution Architect
Digital Transformation · Smart Manufacturing · Supply Chain
For over 25 years I have helped manufacturing and engineering companies redesign planning, production and project management, and bring them onto SAP, integrated with PLM, MES and finite-capacity scheduling.
About
I have worked on SAP in supply chain and manufacturing since 2000. I started in Industrial Engineering at UPS, then became a senior consultant at BMS and a partner at AWB Consulting. Since 2015 I have worked as a freelance consultant through my company, RunBusiness.
I personally lead every engagement, from process analysis and solution design through to go-live. I work directly with companies or as part of the project teams of system integrators and SAP partners.
Who I work with
A senior partner who knows both the process and the system, and speaks the language of engineering, planning and the shop floor.
A solution architect to join your project team in the most specialised areas, with delivery experience across dozens of implementations.
