Project - S4 Hana Brownfield rollout (GSK)

• Spearheaded the S/4HANA Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) workstream, managing a complex, multi-wave brownfield implementation impacting company codes across six deployment waves.
• Designed and deployed robust reporting frameworks utilizing Universal Allocations to streamline allocation processing cycles, reducing labor hours by more than 100 hours, and providing a unified financial view from a single source of truth for all business allocation requirements.
• Executed Functional Unit Testing (FUT) for custom and standard SAP solutions, delivering technical walkthroughs that facilitated the transition to S/4HANA.
• Troubleshot Profit Center and Cost Center master data SIT defects using targeted SAP Notes, reducing reporting leakages by more than 80%, and correcting hierarchy nodes to ensure accurate financial data access across workstreams.

Project: Project Symphony (End-to-End S/4HANA Implementation for Ferrara Candy Company)

• Architected and configured complex Controlling modules, encompassing Product Costing (CO-PC), Material Ledger with Actual Costing, and S/4HANA Margin Analysis.
• Demystified complex Material Ledger functionalities for client stakeholders, fostering accurate Periodic Unit Price (PUP) computations for SKUs across manufacturing plants, reducing manual processing by more than 300 hours, and successfully introducing auxiliary cost component structures and account-based CO-PA integration.
• Simplified Material Ledger functionalities for client stakeholders, enabling accurate Periodic Unit Price (PUP) computations for SKUs across manufacturing plants, decreasing manual processing by over 300 hours, and introducing auxiliary cost component structures and account-based CO-PA integration.
• Managed the Integration Test Cycle (ITC) and Mock Cutover phases as the primary Point of Contact (POC), independently driving the resolution of high-priority tickets to reduce data leakages by more than 60%.
• Collaborated cross-functionally with Order-to-Cash (OTC) teams to draft Requests for Proposals (RFPs), and design integrated models for FSCM Collection and Dispute Management, driving over 100 test scenarios.
• Managed the Integration Test Cycle (ITC) and Mock Cutover phases as the primary point of contact (POC), driving the resolution of high-priority tickets to reduce data leakages by over 60%.
• Mentored and coached junior consultants on technical SAP configuration, building a high-performing project delivery stream.

Project: Full Lifecycle Implementation (Flowers Foods).

• Engineered a customized, automated solution for Dispute and Collections Management, successfully overhauling the client’s legacy manual processes, reducing labor hours by over 500, and optimizing the cash conversion cycle.
• Authored functional design specifications (RICEFW/GAPs), translated complex accounting requirements into technical blueprints, and conducted successful system walkthroughs and functional unit testing.
• Coordinated with internal ABAP/technical streams to troubleshoot system defects during build phases, reducing system downtime by over 40%.
• Managed final cutover tasks and hypercare post-go-live support, resolving 30–40% of critical P1/P2 cutover defects, and technical backlog items independently.
• Executed over 40% of integration test defects for AR/FSCM modules, decreasing financial leakages prior to deployment.
