ABOUT DAVE WARES
I’m a hands-on transformation leader with 15+ years’ experience driving enterprise-wide change across manufacturing, energy, and industrial sectors in Europe and North America. I specialise in AI-first automation, ERP transformation, and data-driven performance improvement at scale.Currently, I’m spearheading the deployment of AI-powered automation in customer order processing for a €300M group, replacing 95%+ of manual entry with intelligent workflows using IBM watsonx.ai, webMethods, AWS and PostgreSQL. This project laid the foundation for broader AI adoption across procurement, finance, and HR.Previously, I led the architecture and rollout of a unified operating system across 10 sites in Spain, Poland, the US, and Mexico, each running different legacy ERPs post-acquisition. I standardised business processes, integrated multiple ERP platforms (SAP, Navision, Exact, etc.), and delivered a group-wide Power BI reporting framework—enabling true “apples-to-apples” insight across the group.With deep experience in programme management, AI and data governance, and enterprise architecture, I bridge the gap between business and technology—ensuring innovation is scalable, measurable, and embraced across all levels of the organisation.
