Summary:
Hands-on SAP Architect with 26+ years of enterprise experience across Basis, Integration, S/4HANA, Finance, Logistics, Master Data, and Compliance. For the past 14 years, I have specialized in SAP Global Trade Services (GTS) and SAP Master Data Governance (MDG), delivering compliant, high-quality trade and data solutions for multinational clients. I am also an authorized customs broker for Swedish Customs.
Core Expertise
International Trade Compliance & SAP GTS
Deep knowledge of global trade regulations (customs, export controls, sanctions, restricted party screening, preference management, classification, Incoterms, free trade agreements) combined with hands-on GTS design and implementation — including GTS 11 and GTS edition for HANA. Expert in compliance strategy, process alignment, S/4HANA integration, and external system interfaces.
SAP MDG & Master Data Governance
End-to-end MDG delivery: master data modelling, governance frameworks, process/UI modelling, replication, validations, data quality rules, and support for Business Partner, Material, and Finance domains.
Technical & Integration Skills
SAP Basis administration, ABAP, S/4HANA conversions, data migration, security, ALE/IDoc, EDI, GTS integration with SD/MM/FI/CO/EWM/TM, and system migrations.
I lead global SAP programs, support complex transformations, and work cross-functionally to design reliable, maintainable solutions aligned with business processes in trade compliance and master data. My structured, analytical approach — strengthened by PhD-level research — enables me to break down complex regulatory and technical requirements into clear, actionable enterprise architectures.
Certified in ABAP, S/4HANA administration, financials, EWM, and MDG.
Open to contract opportunities in GTS, MDG, trade compliance, and related SAP domains.

Project history
GTS Solution Architect & Master Data Architect
I deliver hands-on techno-functional GTS implementations and transformations, covering analysis, solution design, configuration, testing, and go-live. I support new compliance scenarios, improve OTC and P2P flows, and lead transitions from GTS 11 to SAP GTS, edition for HANA.
Integration
I work across SAP ERP and S/4HANA (SD, MM, FI/CO) as well as EWM and TM. I handle integration using ALE/IDoc, EDI, BAPIs, and RFC, ensuring stable interfaces, clear monitoring, and proper error handling.
Compliance Management
Experience includes sanctioned party screening, embargo checks, export control, and license management. I work with dual-use rules (EU, EAR, ITAR) and handle classification and regulatory alignment.
Customs Management
I support classifications, export/import declarations, duty/VAT handling, transit (NCTS), customs warehouse processes, and broker integrations. I work with EU UCC, ATLAS, and US CBP requirements.
Preference, and Intrastat
I support preference processes (preference determination, LTSDs, FTA rules) and end-to-end Intrastat reporting solutions.
Master Data and SAP MDG Expertise
Alongside GTS, I have strong hands-on techno-functional experience with SAP MDG and master data governance. This includes governance models, workflows, data quality rules, validation logic, UI modelling, and DRF-based replication for Business Partner, Material, and Finance master data in S/4HANA landscapes.
