In a dynamic environment at GRIMME, I embraced the disciplinary and professional leadership of approximately 35 team members, spread across five specialized teams including Support, Infrastructure, Development, Information Management, and Process Management. My leadership umbrella also extended to the professional guidance of six international IT staff members, ensuring a synchronized approach to our global IT strategies.Shouldering the overall IT responsibility, I managed a network spanning approximately 1,500 clients, distributed across 27 locations in 14 countries over three continents, with an annual budget accountability of approximately €8 million. My tenure witnessed the successful introduction and operation of the ERP system, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009, across nine entities within the group, ensuring a unified and efficient technological framework across our operations.
