Platform Architecture Leadership

• Ensure cohesive integration across platforms using SAP BTP, MuleSoft, Apigee, Kafka/event streaming, and modern EDI.
•
Architecture Governance
• Chair the Architecture Review Board (ARB) and domain councils (SAP, Salesforce, Data, Cloud, Integration).
• Establish and enforce standards, reference architectures, and design patterns.
• Implement Architecture Decision Records, design review processes, and exception management.

Roadmap & Transformation Leadership
• Own multi‑year roadmaps for S/4 transformation, CRM modernization, cloud migration, data & AI platform evolution, MES modernization, and cybersecurity uplift.
• Serve as chief architect for major enterprise programs.
•
Team Leadership & Operating Model
• Lead a team of enterprise, domain, and solution architects.
• Operate a federated architecture model with centralized governance and embedded architects in programs.
• Establish architecture KPIs (reuse, compliance, technical debt reduction, time‑to‑market).
•
Executive Communication & Influence
• Present architecture strategy, risks, and investment recommendations to CIO, CFO, COO, and business presidents.
• Translate complex technical decisions into business‑aligned narratives.
• Influence vendor strategy and ensure alignment with enterprise goals.
•
DevSecOps & Delivery Enablement:
• Embed architectural standards into CI/CD pipelines, implement shift-left security practices, and empower agile delivery teams with clear “guardrails, not speed bumps.”
•
Emerging Tech & AI Governance:
• Define enterprise strategy for GenAI, Agentic AI, and edge computing; establish AI architectural guardrails, ethical usage frameworks, and integration patterns.
•
Application Portfolio Rationalization:
• Conduct continuous portfolio reviews to retire legacy systems, consolidate overlapping capability tools, and track tech debt reduction.

Resilience, High Availability & BCP/DR:
• Architect end-to-end operational resilience, fault tolerance, and Disaster Recovery (DR) strategies across hybrid cloud, plant floor, and core platforms
