About
SAP SD & Order to Cash Solution Architect · IT Business Partner · Co-founder
After my dual-major MBA in Marketing and Finance, I spent around five years in exports of industrial products and sales. Armed with that domain expertise, I moved naturally into SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) and Order To Cash in 2000, working on my first greenfield implementation. Along the way I've also worked in SAP Materials Management, Vistex and SAP Customer Service / Service Management.
My 30-year career spans reputed multinational businesses - both end users and consulting organisations - with clients in FMCG, discrete manufacturing, trading, chemicals, cement, beverages and pharmaceuticals. With an entrepreneurial spirit, my wife and I co-founded our own consulting company in 2016, delivering SAP SD and Order to Cash projects on time and within budget for customers who have become long-term relationships.
Our main work encompasses major projects across the UK and Europe, specialising in M&A, carveouts, SAP rollouts, digital transformations and business process optimisation. A career highlight: as SAP Order To Cash Solution Architect and SME at Mondelēz International, I helped deliver a billion-dollar divestiture seamlessly - on time, budget-conscious, and with zero disruption to the retained business.
Today I'm IT Business Partner - Sales at Baker & Baker, supporting Customer Service and Sales teams across 10 countries and 12 manufacturing facilities in Europe, leading the implementation of Sales Cloud V2 and acting as Solution Architect for a pan-European S/4HANA Private Cloud implementation. I continue unlocking value in the SAP SD/OTC space with the latest tools and technologies - S/4HANA and AI included.
