I learnt my trade with JLR starting as a Wearhouse supervisor. After picking up the SAP system and becoming the SME I worked my up to change & transformation SME working closely on purchasing systems and processes across the JLR landscape. In 2019 I got a phone call from the Mercedes F1 team needing and SAP specialist, looking at the BoM data and working to improve processes, I could not say no. From then I have spent 2 seasons with the Williams F1 team helping to launch the D365 program while keeping AX alive. I have since moved and finished my first year with Haas F1 racing. Again my role is to align and improve data quality, processes and work to launch the D365 ERP system. All while trying to race each week. I have many points and examples I could talk about but it would be good to discuss if you have a theme or direction you want the talks to go in.
