Description

Freelance SAP Project Manager specialising in S/4HANA Brownfield migrations. Most recent mandate: ECC 6.0 EhP5 → S/4HANA 2023, €2M+, 2,900+ users across multiple European entities — from governance design to cutover and hypercare. Available. Based in Munich. FR · EN · DE.

Most recent engagement: end-to-end delivery lead for a Brownfield S/4HANA migration at ArcelorMittal Downstream Solution (€2M+ budget, 2,900+ users, multiple European entities). ECC 6.0 to S/4HANA. From Integrators benchmarking and selection to cutover execution and go-live — I built the PMO framework, led 20+ SAP SMEs, managed the system integrator and product advisory relationship, and delivered.

Before that: 4+ years at ArcelorMittal Downstream Solution from functional consultant to leading the Digitalization of Logistics program (€1M+ budget, 80+ European plants, 5 applications). Built and managed the cross-functional team, ran the integrator relationship, and drove change management through to ground-level adoption.

My edge: I combine functional expertise across SAP PP, MM, WM, and LE with hands-on project governance. I understand what consultants and developers are actually delivering — which means I govern with precision, not just process.

Available for S/4HANA migration and ERP transformation mandates. Based in Munich. Immediate availability.
