As the Chief Product Owner for Management Accounting at SAP SE I have accompanied many developments to the Controlling components of SAP S/4HANA, SAP ERP Financials and SAP R/3 as both a product and a solution manager. In this role I work with the controllers from many international organizations to understand new software requirements and explain how to use the existing software. I am the author of several books on Controlling for SAP Press and Espresso Tutorials and have written many articles for SAP Financials Expert.
