Tracy DeMuth
Semi-retired independent consultant
Tracy is a globally-experienced executive with 30 years experience in information technology, finance, enterprise risk management, and governance. She has held leadership roles in both client services firms and public companies, which has led to a balanced approach to delivering on business objectives by striking the right balance between risk-taking and risk-management. Until her recent retirement, Tracy was involved in a multi-year SAP S/4HANA rollout at a multi-billion-dollar manufacturer and distributor. Early in that project Tracy was involved in providing independent implementation QA in her leadership role within Internal Audit, and subsequently she was asked to take on overall project management for the 2nd release of the implementation. Her perspectives both as an interested inside party and then as the leader responsible for the overall implementation make a compelling case to why independent implementation quality assurance is a vital aspect of project success.
