Über Claus
I help organizations turn Procurement and Supply Chain into engines of value creation.
What I Do
- Operating Model Design that aligns governance, roles, and KPIs with business goals
- Source-to-Pay (S2P) Excellence across strategy, sourcing, contracts, purchasing, invoicing, and analytics
- Digital Procurement Enablement with i.e. SAP S/4HANA, SAP Ariba, Coupa, Ivalua, and any other valid player - focused on usability, data quality, and real-world adoption rather than tool ideology
- Change & Leadership Programs that drive acceptance, capability building, and measurable results
- Stabilization and Turnaround of broken P2P landscapes to restore flow, transparency, and control
