Léana Duffus

With 29 years of diverse experience, I bring a wealth of expertise in enterprise architecture and various other business- and IT topics. My career journey began in the corporate field, evolving through formative roles in management consulting, SAP advisory, transformation leadership and sales management. I have experience in various business environments, leveraging a keen interest in solving complex challenges and adeptly translating strategy into actionable plans. My functional background lies in Logistics and Supply Chain Management, complemented by comprehensive experience in sectors including Banking, Energy & Natural Resources, Manufacturing, and Public Sector. Throughout my career, I've played integral roles such as services executive, enterprise architect and business transformation consultant, consistently delivering value through strategic insights and innovative solutions.

My career started off with four years in corporate positions in engineering, logistics and supply chain management. During this time I also took on my first line management role at the age of 24. I then branched out into management consulting where I spent six years on interesting projects ranging from business strategy and economic feasibility studies, to business process reengineering and IT architecture design. During this time I was exposed to the manufacturing, logistics, professional services and health industries and also performed consulting management duties.

I then spent three years in public sector as a process engineer and process architecture manager. During this time I gained more in-depth knowledge of business process management and -reengineering, and Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing techniques.

My SAP career started in 2007 and included roles in business transformation consulting, services executive management, presales and sales management. I had various formal and informal management positions during my tenure, looking after teams of between 7 and 20 people. Some of the projects that stand out from my time as customer-facing consultant, are a five-year engagement with a large retail bank as services executive on their core banking transformation journey, and a two-year project as SAP enterprise architect at a global ENR company. I also played project management roles for short projects while in the SAP Services team, and gained experience in various additional industries during my time in Presales. For the past three years, I have been in a sales management position for the SAP training business.

I have the most fun when I am required to break down complex problems into solvable bits, and translating strategy into action. Therefore it was no surprise that, during my time at SAP, I naturally developed an enterprise architecture specialisation. Together with business process management, these are the fields I am very passionate about. I will also consider account management or programme management roles, as I gained sufficient experience during my time at SAP, to fulfill these roles with confidence.
