Disjointed training processes and siloed workstreams were limiting global tool adoption and slowing down knowledge transfer across regions. I led the international deployment of SAP Enable Now, aligning cross-functional teams, (250 people) managing six consultants, and delivering a ‘train the trainer’ model across seven countries. With centralised governance and streamlined content creation, we doubled skills ramp-up speed and reduced enablement costs by 50% through automation and shared resources.

The lack of visibility on the project portfolios caused the Group's electronic reference catalog bottlenecks which hampered resource allocation between teams. I led the implementation of MS Project and ProjectLibre tools across multiple countries, enabling clear tracking of project lifecycles and early identification of resource risks. By centralising project data and activating real-time monitoring, we improved task oversight, enhanced accuracy on project status, and delivered about ont third time savings through simplified, multi-project tracking across the European zone.

Vehicle and mobile fleet inefficiencies were causing cost overruns, with mismatches between fuel usage and postmen’s schedules, inconsistent maintenance standards, and no unified oversight. I led financial optimisation of the mobility systems, managing 65,000 vehicles and 90,000 mobile lines, implementing KPI-driven BI/BW reporting, and overseeing data integration with SAP FICA. This enabled proactive cost forecasting, standardised processes, and tighter control of usage. The project saved 3 million euros and achieved budget savings of 15% through the successful transition to a new mobile operator.

Lack of reporting visibility and fragmented SD and MRO processes were reducing efficiency and increasing operational risk. I supported the optimisation of SAP flows, providing functional assistance to SD and MRO teams and facilitating clear communication through regular progress reporting. By implementing controls at critical process stages and streamlining user interactions, we improved process efficiency and achieved a 15% time saving through risk reduction and better alignment.

Limited English-language training and partial understanding of processes were slowing users’ adoption of SAP workflows during a global rollout. I led the creation of targeted training materials, supervised user guides for Accenture consultants, and supported teams across key process areas including MM, PS, PP, SD, FI-CO, and SIS. By organising UAT sessions, updating business procedures, and delivering multilingual support, we enabled smoother transitions, improved
