PMO Manager & ERP Consulting Manager
60+ ERP projects. Field leadership. Finishers win.
Who I am
I'm a PMP-certified PMO and ERP consulting leader (since 2018) with 12+ years of hands-on experience in ERP and software-driven transformation. At IAS Turkey, I serve as PMO Manager & ERP Consulting Manager, leading delivery and operating discipline across canias ERP transformation programs.
My focus is turning complex initiatives into finished outcomes. I build visibility for sponsors, surface risks early, and establish a decision-making operating cadence that keeps teams moving from endless revision to measurable results.
I currently lead PMO and consulting initiatives at IAS. This website is for thought leadership, speaking, and professional profile purposes. Any external collaboration requests are assessed for suitability and potential conflicts of interest.
Professional journey
I've contributed on the field to 60+ ERP and digital transformation projects across different scales. I work closely with C-level stakeholders and project sponsors to build visibility, a clear decision-making operating cadence, and measurable outcomes.
In canias ERP programs, I'm especially focused on the critical path: data readiness, process design, go-live, and the first 90 days of stabilization.
Focus areas
- canias ERP program/project leadership and consulting management
- ERP project management: scope–budget–schedule, change control, go-live & stabilization
- PMO setup and operation: building a decision and action cadence, not just reporting
- Stakeholder alignment, team coordination, and field management
- Training and facilitation: clarifying needs, setting priorities, making progress visible

PMI Turkey
I've been volunteering with PMI Turkey since 2018 and in 2025 I serve as President of PMI Turkey, representing the community at the national level. This role brings responsibilities in events, education, and professional network development, while allowing me to share my field experience with a broader community.
Management philosophy
I've seen four conditions for success in transformation projects:
Clarity
If goals and success criteria are unclear, team energy scatters.
Discipline
Erratic management always produces drift. A cadence that prevents delayed decisions is essential.
Measurability
Intuition is valuable but not enough on its own. I speak with data and make drift visible early.
Decision courage
Projects don't fall behind — decisions do. Putting tough issues on the table on time is part of leadership.
Finishers win
Starting is easy; finishing is hard. In transformation projects, value often locks in at the end. So my focus is catching delays and ownership gaps early and solidifying delivery.
- Project drift often comes not from weak plans but from gaps in a finishing culture.
- With the right operating cadence, teams make decisions; without it, the project turns into endless revision.
- Organizations that know the field, drive timely decisions, and protect delivery win.
