I'm a techsplainer. I know how to convert a complex technology into stories that people understand. My goal is always to have people think they understood it themselves. Lately, it's Generative AI that I've been "techsplaining". 20 years' experience in SAP procurement and trading partner networks. Global head of 200+ solution advisers, for which I develop efficient content to drive sales. Created SAP's first ChatGPT training (9 days after release), won Gen AI Hackathon, and trained +20,000 colleagues globally last year.
Delivered AI enablement to +20,000 SAP employees through remote sessions, live events, and workshops—hands-on first, so everyone experienced what's happening when they interact with AI. Then explained agents and how AI is changing business by showing what was never possible before. Equipped them with tools and conveyed the urgency to adopt.

Promoted cloud-first and standardized solutions at executive levels when SAP had no cloud offerings. Coordinated and developed SAP Crypto North Star advisory framework for procurement and supply chain line of businesses (2022). My "Lloyd's bag of tricks" still gets 1,000 hits monthly on the SAP Intranet.
