Summary
I've spent the last 10 years inside SAP Ariba implementations (30+ projects across 50+ countries) and the thing I'm best at is sitting between procurement teams and IT and making sure neither side loses the plot. I understand the business deeply enough to write the specs, and I understand the tech well enough to know when a developer is overcomplicating things. I'm at my best when a tool is being rolled out and the real work is getting people to use it. I have formal training on SAP Ariba NextGen and I'm actively building hands-on experience as the module matures.
