About me

Decision before tool

I begin by establishing who makes the decision, what data they use and what constraints apply. Only then do I choose the process, technology and implementation approach.

In procurement, I take responsibility for money, risk and stakeholders. In applications, I translate those decisions into workflows, data and controls. Aviation brings procedural discipline and a clear division of responsibility.

Areas of work

How I can help you

Procurement decisions

Procurement advisory

Problem: Procurement decisions are fragmented across the process, data and stakeholders.
Action: I structure the decision model, priorities and implementation plan.
Possible outcome: Clear sequencing of changes and responsibilities.

Workflow

Operational applications

Problem: Spreadsheets and separate tools do not reflect day-to-day work.
Action: I design the workflow, data model, permissions and reporting.
Possible outcome: One tool supporting process execution.

Aviation operations

Aviation

Problem: Bookings, documents, operations and settlements run in separate workflows.
Action: I structure the process and build a solution around operational responsibility.
Possible outcome: Structured handling of aviation operations.

Advisory service

Procurement transformation

Problem: The procurement function lacks a shared operating model.
Action: Diagnosis, target model and change plan.
Possible outcome: Aligned priorities and a measurable way of working.

Implementation service

SAP Ariba implementation

Problem: The system is not grounded in process decisions and user needs.
Action: Scope, configuration, integration and go-live.
Possible outcome: A solution used in day-to-day procurement work.

Advisory service

Public procurement

Problem: The procurement decision must remain consistent with the procedure and documentation.
Action: I structure the procedure strategy, requirements and decision path.
Possible outcome: A controlled process with a clear rationale.
