Philips LightingSenior Program Manager
Jan. 2014 - Jun. 2018Eindhoven Area, NetherlandsAs Programme / Project Manager in Philips Lighting, I oversaw SAP implementation projects, e.g. Burlington (USA) and Shenzen and Hong Kong (China). I supervised and managed a global team to ensure the smooth execution of the projects. I managed IT operations of the entity across the globe, including Netherlands, Belgium, India, China, Poland, US, Hungary, Spain, and UK. I identified deviations of actual applied resources vs. budgeted amounts by monitoring and reviewing project progress, while recommending appropriate course of actions to mitigate variances. I fostered lucrative working relationships and collaboration with internal and external stakeholders to identify and deliver on project requirements, scope and objectives. I considered SAP development modules, such as Sales and Distribution (SD), Financial Accounting (FI), Controlling (CO), Business Intelligence (BI), Advanced Planning and Optimisation (APO), and Third-Party Logistics (3PL). I have managed and completed number of projects. My key projects are as follows: ★ SAP Implementation Colour Kinetics: I spearheaded the implementation of SAP in Colour Kinetics, a global company by managing all facets, including project preparation, business blueprint, realisation, final Preparation, Go Live, and post production support. ★ Lighting Fiscal Invoicing: I played an instrumental role in the execution of output-based engagement (onsite and offshore) to develop cost-effective IT strategies, identify and allocate resources, and deliver feasible IT solution by staying within budget of €8 million.
