Organizational Change Management for the strategic setup of a hybrid GBS rollout as part of a global, AI-driven Finance Transformation. End-to-end management of the OCM architecture in a highly complex on-, near-, and offshore partner setup [IN, PL, RO]. Successful completion of Phase 1 (Initial Strategy) and strategic pausing by the Executive Board after the early disclosure of critical vendor-side OPEX risks

• Systemic Baseline Assessment & Stakeholder Diagnostics: Evaluation of the global organization and analysis of the process landscape across 21 countries [AT, DE, CH, FR, UK, SI, RO, UA, RU, US, CD, CN, AR, MX, ZA, IN, JP] to precisely determine change requirements

• Architecting the OCM Strategy & Master Roadmap: Independent development of a comprehensive, AI-centered Change Roadmap for end-to-end management of all change initiatives across every project phase

• Data Quality & AI Agent Risk Mitigation: Auditing of Process Data Repositories (Celonis analysis); prevention of the ingestion of 58% synthetic training data to safeguard AI model reliability amid geopolitical supply chain tensions

• GBS Vendor BAFO Triage & Contractual Commitment: Critical review of Tier-1 vendor pitches and contractual commitment to a reduced Non-STP rate (from 7% to 4%) to avoid extreme manual rework with a planned FTE reduction (-63%)

• Executive Enablement & Board Alignment: Design of the GBS Transformation Executive Board Deck to strategically enable C-level executives and transparently present completely overlooked AI tokenization costs

• Targeted Change Communications & Engagement: Design and development of audience-specific communication measures to align the highly diverse, globally distributed stakeholder network

• Adoption Velocity & Resistance Measurement: Engineering of quantitative measurement tools (Pulse Check Survey) using Behavioral Dyads to identify resistance based on data and ensure sustainable success measurement

Results:

• Avoidance of disruptive misallocations: Stopping the ingestion of 58% synthetic AI-agent training data after discovering only 42% compatibility with existing processes, preventing critical GBS cascade errors
• Significant OPEX & effort reduction: Reduction of the Non-STP rate in Tier-1 vendor BAFOs from 7% to 4% alongside an impending 63% Finance-FTE reduction; avoidance of thousands of time-consuming manual correction processes
• 100% Delivery of the OCM architecture & ROI protection: Delivery of all OCM artifacts (Change Roadmap, Comms Plan, Executive Board Deck, Pulse Check Survey) and protection of ROI by identifying incalculable LLM runtime token costs

I build. I advise. I think in systems. After years leading digital transformation at scale — Accenture, BP, Lidl — I made a deliberate choice: trade platform dependency for structural independence. My focus is at the intersection of AI systems, product strategy, and venture thinking. I work with operators and founders who want to move fast without losing control — of their data, their stack, their direction.
