About me
Intro
I am a functional analyst with 6+ years of ERP and application delivery experience, including a D365 F&O deployment at Rolex covering finance, sales orders, purchase orders and WMS. I have worked across large cross-functional teams at Accenture, running test cycles, presenting UAT results to business stakeholders, and participating in every stage of the Agile delivery cycle. What makes my profile unusual is that I have also worked as a retail end user of these systems at Canada Goose and Tory Burch, which means I understand both why a system is built a certain way and how it fails in the hands of the people using it every day. I am currently based in Paris, immediately available, and open to functional analyst, business analyst, and ERP QA roles across France and Europe. Right to work in France.
