About the Candidate
This executive specialises in delivering ERP-led transformation, carve-outs, and technology-driven value creation for private equity portfolio companies and mid-market organisations. With nearly two decades of experience across consulting, digital strategy, M&A, and operational transformation, they operate at the intersection of technology, finance and operations — translating IT investments into tangible EBITDA impact. Their work spans SAP S/4HANA programmes, AI and analytics enablement, IT/tech due diligence, integration of acquired entities, and restructuring of technology landscapes to support rapid scale-up or divestment scenarios.
They excel particularly in environments characterised by fragmented systems, unclear process ownership, underperforming technology stacks, or complex multi-entity carve-outs. By establishing clear operating models, designing strategic roadmaps, managing C-level stakeholder alignment, and implementing disciplined programme governance, they consistently unlock both operational and financial value. Their approach blends hands-on delivery with strategic insight, making them well suited to situations where execution speed and measurable impact are essential.
