Summary

I work at the intersection of business analysis, pricing, and SAP SD, with hands-on experience in SAP S/4HANA implementations, pricing transformation, and system integration. I help turn business requirements into practical solutions, especially in pricing, order-to-cash, and connected business applications.

My work includes implementing PROS(Conga) Pricing with SAP S/4HANA, building and modifying pricing procedures, supporting migration and rollout, and training users on new tools and processes. I have also worked on customer planning tools, condition contracts, and value-based pricing for B2C.

With a strong SAP SD foundation, I have supported end-to-end implementations, testing, and integrations across MM, FI, Credit Control, and legacy systems. I also bring earlier domain sales experience, which helps me understand business needs from both process and customer perspectives.
