I’m a Product Squad lead specializing in SAP HR platforms, leading cloud transformation and modernization initiatives. I bridge HR functional expertise with deep technical knowledge (SAP BASIS, infrastructure, data migration) to guide enterprise-scale moves from legacy SAP to next‑generation landscapes on SAP S/4HANA and RISE with SAP. My focus is building a clear product vision and roadmap, delivering value iteratively, and ensuring a stable, secure, and scalable HR technology foundation.
What I do
Define product strategy and own the roadmap, backlog, and requirements for HR data and processes.
Lead S/4HANA migration strategy (brownfield/system conversion and selective data transition) with an HR-centric lens.
Translate business needs into technical deliverables, partnering closely with HR, IT, and engineering.
Oversee SAP BASIS and infrastructure design for RISE and hyperscalers (Azure/AWS), including performance and security.
Drive end-to-end data migration and ILM/decommissioning, ensuring data quality, integrity, and compliant archiving.
Operate in agile, cross-functional teams; measure adoption and platform health with clear KPIs.
Serve as SAP System Owner for HR: accountable for system health, performance, security, audit readiness, and strategic direction.
Manage vendors and partners (SAP, implementation teams), overseeing upgrades, licensing, and major incident support.
Ensure lifecycle governance, architecture standards, and adherence to corporate policies and regulations.
