Alfredo Perez

I lead large, distributed IT organizations through transformation and modernization, to make companies effective and efficient in their Order Management, Operations (Supply Chain, Distribution, Logistics), Finance, Customer Care, Sales, Marketing, HR, M&A processes. Known for depth of knowledge; breadth of planning that covers all corners, present and future; sense of urgency, ownership, and personal accountability; staying calm and positive; building solid, productive relationships; delivering robust, trusted solutions; adapting swiftly to change; and making my organization shine. How I Deliver: By learning the technical and business details, driving for delivering value now, and making the best of the teams: • Fast, strategic delivery / tradeoffs: My teams and I learn the technology and the business, so we can prioritize and sequence work to meet strategic goals first, and save other product features to future iterations. For an OMS project with over 150 stories, I drove to prioritize a 5th that would deliver 80% of the value, during the 1st quarter of the pilot time. • Agile, synergies: I introduce iterative methodologies and automated testing, as they allow us to not only adapt to ambiguity and changing priorities in 1-2 weeks, but also see and manage the whole of all competing projects in a roadmap, and identify synergies so that common, reusable modules can be built once, in a solid foundation to benefit multiple projects and products, reducing development time and defect rates. • Relationships and influence: I engage with stakeholders to ensure we understand and satisfy them. In a project with leaders with different ideas of what technology to use, I spent time with each one to understand their view and needs, and deliver a solution that met their goals; I showed how this was a better, scalable architecture. • Continuous improvement: I watch all teams and individuals collaborate, and adjust to maximize efficiency and throughput. In one ERP rollout, I introduced requirements walkthroughs with SMEs to avoid signoff delays and missing requirements, and had UAT test cases created early, so unit testing could be done against them, resulting in < 1/10 the defect rates of other projects, and avoiding missing milestones. • Have implemented and supported SAP S/4HANA, FMS, ERP, GTS, Signavio, DOM / OMS (Retail Unity, Manhattan Active Omni), Marketplace Integrators, WMS / WCS, TMS, CRM, Dynamics AX, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, JDA; platforms include Cloud, SaaS, AI / ML, eCommerce (SAP Commerce Cloud, Salesforce Commerce Cloud), Analytics.
