I am accustomed to the Agile way of working on IT projects and I work with FDA and system validation processes daily. I welcome and thrive on challenge and enjoy interaction with, and supporting all levels of the business including but not limited to the immediate user community. I have worked on a wide variety of SAP factory kernel consolidation projects in various countries outside the US including Brazil, Costa Rica, Germany and the Netherlands.

I am part of a procure to pay team supporting on-going SAP industrial kernel process harmonization and kernel consolidation, as well as being a part of the Global Operational Material Management team where we are using master data strategies and preferred processes in order to harmonize and improve efficiencies of factory procured material replenishment, material life cycle management, harmonized rule based release strategy and are assisting factory sites with the deployment of supplier consignment, subcontracting and collaboration solutions to assist with supply chain improvements.
