Building a new technology portfolio for the Office of the CFO and Global Clients and Markets

KPMG

35% Cost savings
$30M+ Technology and transformation portfolio
100+ Resources across countries and functions

Context

As part of a newly established team at KPMG, I owned the technology and business transformation portfolio across major internal business functions, working directly with the KPMG CIO and senior leaders across Finance, Tax, Procurement, HR, Sales Enablement and Global Marketing.

The challenge

Connect business priorities with technology investments across the Office of the CFO, while leading complex global programs and multidisciplinary delivery teams.

What I did

  • Designed and implemented a new IT operating model
  • Led technology and transformation initiatives across the Office of the CFO, including Finance, Tax, Procurement and HR
  • Delivered a major ServiceNow HR transformation and supported enterprise modernization across SAP, Coupa and other platforms
  • Brought AI into the CFO organization through the Microsoft Enterprise Chatbot
  • Supported Sales Enablement and Global Marketing, including Salesforce adoption
  • Created governance, executive reporting and performance frameworks that improved visibility and accountability
  • Consolidated vendors and contracts, led negotiations, mapped roles and optimized the resource model

The outcome

Designed and implemented a new IT operating model, vendor consolidation, and resource mapping, delivering 35% cost savings. Led key business transformation programs across SAP S/4HANA, ServiceNow, Microsoft Enterprise Chatbot, and other strategic initiatives.

I worked closely with Tereza at KPMG, where she was a trusted partner supporting the Office of the CFO technology portfolio. She helped drive SAP S/4HANA initiatives, vendor management, AI/ChatBot implementation, and strategic roadmaps. Tereza combines strategic thinking with strong execution and an exceptional ability to build relationships across business and technology teams.

I had the pleasure of working with Tereza at KPMG, where she supported the Procurement technology portfolio, including Coupa initiatives. She quickly built trusted relationships with my leadership team, took the time to understand their challenges, and consistently helped bridge business needs with technology solutions. Tereza brings a positive, collaborative attitude, strong relationship skills, and a genuine commitment to helping teams succeed. She was a trusted partner and a pleasure to work with.
