Role - Karen Nelson, Core Business Systems Manager

Provided centralised core business systems and systems support to Europe, utilising data centres based in USA. Managed multi-language, multi-currency software solutions to enable the newly formed centralised European management team to be relocated to Switzerland.

'I relied totally on Karen to deliver one of PepsiCo's largest change agendas, driving through the build and implementation of a European Procurement, Finance and Manufacturing solution. During this period she has clearly demonstrated her outstanding project management, team building and most importantly, leadership skills. She has never once missed a delivery deadline and is very diligent in the management of a large budget ($10 M+), while always delivering either on, or under, that budget.'
