Working as an IT consultant gives me an opportunity to not only learn and stay current with the technical aspects, but allows me to work with people, understand how best to stream line and improve on their usability and efficiencies. What better reward… As an SAP HCM consultant specializing in North American payroll, I work with end users, client managers, project managers, technical architects and developers; it’s so imperative to understand and be relatable to different priorities, agendas and personalities. Based in Toronto, Canada I started over 19 years ago working in SAP Payroll, in more of a technical role that expanded to a lead role mentoring other consultants and client team members. I broadened my knowledge in working in the US for over 10 years specializing in US payroll solutions, integration and the legislative areas of US payroll. Large global projects have also given me the great opportunity to work in South America and across Europe. In doing so, I’ve learned how cultural system requirements vary by degree and, in general, how users react and use their toolsets differently.
