Operations and Cost Optimization

Make what you have work better.

Sometimes the opportunity isn't another transformation program. It's understanding what's already there and making it work better. I assess operations across people, process, technology, vendors and costs to identify complexity, duplication and opportunities for improvement.

Who this is for

  • Leaders whose operating costs have grown faster than the business
  • Organizations with too many vendors and overlapping contracts
  • Teams whose service performance is falling short of its KPIs and SLAs
  • Businesses deciding whether to insource or outsource a function

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.
