About
The leader behind the firm
I founded Emphasys in June 2021, after nearly three decades leading SAP programs in 36 countries for organisations including Hewlett Packard, Toyota, Honeywell and Schneider Electric. Along the way, I led SAP technology strategy at AGL Energy, Transport for NSW and Sydney Water.
I hold an Executive MBA from UTS, sit on its Executive MBA Advisory Board, and host The ERP Optimiser Show.
How I lead Emphasys
- Certified people.
Every consultant is trained, certified and known to us, and works under Emphasys standards and systems.
- Governed delivery.
ISO 9001 quality management on every engagement.
- A clear way in.
Diagnostic → conversation → proposal.
- Clients who return.
Around 70% come back for further work.
