About Soufiane

Transformation and operating model leader with 20 years of progression from frontline operations through regional and global governance, including Chief of Staff and transformation leadership for a USD 14B organization. Building the governance, cadence, ownership, KPI trees, value tracking, automation logic, risk controls and adoption mechanisms that turn fragmented execution into systems that hold under pressure. Best suited to mandates where executive intent must become measurable operating rhythm across functions, regions and operational pressure.

- USD 276M+ cash acceleration in one quarter through Order-to-Cash and unbilled-revenue governance, with 1.3-day DSO improvement.
- 84,000+ hours returned through governed automation across O2C workflows, with USD 4M+ savings.
- USD 100M+ cost savings delivered through process redesign, quality improvement and operational cost reduction.
- 80% above target AI/ML order-management yield in North America, reducing manual intervention and improving workflow performance.
- 0 SLA penalties for two consecutive years on contractual SLA commitments through a scalable EMEA support model.
- 36% / 31% backlog reduction and cycle-time reduction through operating-flow redesign and cross-functional governance.

Operating strengths:
- Executive governance: roadmap, decision cadence, risk visibility, Opex/AOP rhythm, leadership alignment
- Value realization: cash acceleration, cost discipline, DSO, productivity, benefits tracking, margin-sensitive execution
- Operating model design: ownership, handoffs, KPI tree, escalation, run/change capacity, adoption, handover
- AI and automation: workflow selection, Power Platform, AI/ML adoption, predictive analytics, productivity release
- Customer-critical operations: SLA governance, customer advocacy, support models, NPS/cNPS, service continuity
- Transformation delivery: portfolio governance, QMS, BCRP, supply-chain flow, shared services, change adoption

    Frankfurt, Germany
    Formalizing an operator-built transformation method into an external operating architecture: governance, cadence, value tracking, workflow clarity, automation discipline, continuity, adoption and handover.
    • Built S|B Engine as the public architecture around the method developed through enterprise transformation work: map friction, define ownership, stabilize cadence, track value, automate only after workflow clarity and embed adoption.

    • Built workflow and app logic for tax and document handling, content planning, outreach, quotation structure, administrative claims and product experimentation, applying the same pattern to unfamiliar systems before turning it into repeatable logic.
    • Developed Pixel Engine concept into early product logic and market-facing material focused on AI adoption, workflow value, hidden manual work and human judgment capture.
    • Built learning and facilitation assets on leadership, inclusion, transformation and career development, grounded in operating reality rather than motivational content.
    • Demonstrates method transfer outside a corporate scaffold: decode the system, structure the flow, document the mechanism and make it usable.
