SAP4HANA Change Lead Finance and Supply Chain at BCX

Bio Summary

About myself: My career has spanned working in various corporations, as well as starting and running businesses, for others as well as myself. I am an entrepreneur at heart, and am happiest in a changing and dynamic environment. Consulting at Deloitte has provided great exposure and mental stimulation, as well as a great working environment. Business management remains my passion, striving for excellence whilst employing a happy and engaged team.

On a more personal note: Spending as much time as possible riding horses, competing in 3-phase eventing, breeding and training young horses, breeding Hungarian Vizsla dogs, and doing all of this with my wonderful children close to me!
