ABOUT KARTIK DUA
I’m a Global IT Executive on a CIO track, leading enterprise ERP strategy, large-scale transformation programs, and global Centers of Excellence (CoE) to turn technology into a true business differentiator. I own the global SAP S/4HANA ecosystem, with end-to-end accountability across strategy, ERP program delivery, and steady-state operations. I lead global ERP programs spanning multi-country rollouts, localization, data migration, testing, cutover, and hypercare—while ensuring the environment remains stable, scalable, and business-ready. In parallel, I build and run ERP Centers of Excellence that standardize delivery, enforce governance, and accelerate value realization. By combining strong operating models with deep business alignment, I ensure ERP investments translate into measurable outcomes—not just system deployments. My leadership is grounded in three pillars: Transformation at Scale: Leading ECC to S/4HANA migrations, multi-ERP consolidations, and complex integrations across Salesforce CPQ, tax engines, and finance platformsOperational Excellence: Driving ≥99.9% system availability, strong incident and release governance, and audit-ready compliance (SOX, GDPR)Innovation with Discipline: Simplifying ERP landscapes through standardization while advancing AI, automation, and continuous improvement initiatives What sets me apart is execution with intent—I balance aggressive transformation agendas with operational control, ensuring organizations scale without disruption. I build high-performing global teams and CoEs that are cross-skilled, accountable, and designed to sustain long-term growth. I partner closely with business leaders to prioritize the right demand, unlock efficiency, and enable new capabilities that directly impact revenue, cost, and customer experience. I don’t just run ERP—I build the foundation for how modern enterprises operate and grow. If you’re looking for a VP / Head of IT / CIO-track leader who can drive transformation, scale global programs, and institutionalize excellence through CoEs, let’s connect.
