- How many times have you had to reinvent yourself in your career?
- I started out as a cost controller and gradually moved into the enterprise resource planning domain. I have been in charge of business process re-engineering as well as transforming IT functions into more robust organizations capable of handling rapid growth.
- A recent great deal from a vendor:
- The best way to get a great deal from a strategic vendor is to create a trusted partnership where both parties can see clear benefits. In my recent example, a strategic partner agreed to install a full running system as part of a proof of concept. The vendor got the system in, and I got a much better proof of concept and saved the reinstall.
- Coolest current project:
- Data analysis in our research and development function. It is a project based on big data and big computers. The project could be a game-changer for the entire company.
