About Deepak
I am a Senior SAP & AI Transformation Leader with 16+ years of experience delivering complex enterprise programmes across European and global markets. Based in Berlin, I work as an independent Programme Director and SI Bridge — bringing C-suite credibility, commercial rigour, and end-to-end delivery accountability to organisations that need transformation done, not just advised on.
My core expertise spans SAP S/4HANA, SAP ERP AMS, SAP IBP, SAP C4C, SAP Sales Cloud, and SAP Emarsys, alongside AI capability programme leadership. I have delivered 8 end-to-end SAP ERP implementations and 3 SAP CRM implementations across Germany, the UK, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, South Africa, and the UAE.
A key differentiator I bring to German-based clients is my ability to manage and get the best out of Indian offshore delivery partners — combining senior onshore presence in Berlin with deep cultural fluency and a personal network in India built over 14 years at Mindtree and LTIMindtree.
Recent highlights include leading a €2M AI transformation programme for a major German Mittelstand manufacturing client as SI Bridge and Programme Lead, and directing a €15M application services portfolio spanning 165 enterprise applications at LTIMindtree Berlin.
Available for interim and project-based engagements across Europe. Fully open to hybrid and on-site working. Client references available on request.
