Hi,
I`m a MM certified SAP consultant who is currently based in Brisbane, Australia. I work in the MM/SD space and bring a strong set of process and systems design skills to my clients. I have the capability to analyse business requirements in association with product capabilities and in concert with the clients infrastructure in order to offer practical and effective solutions.
Across a SAP career of 10 years I have effectively and repeatedly demonstrated the ability to take ownership for design and delivery responsibilities and communicate effectively across experience and technology barriers. My logistics background was solidified with a 10 year tenure in the Royal New Zealand Air Force, in the logistics & supply branch, where I also utilised SAP for procurement processes.
As a senior consultant I have worked on both small and large multinational implementations across varying industries, including Telecoms, Manufacturing, Oil & Gas, Retail, Mining/ Resources, Services and Forestry.
Regards, Steve
