Ritchie Bros.
ThoughtWorks · Principal, Digital Commerce and Finance SME · 2022 to 2023
Ritchie Bros. moves heavy equipment across borders: a seller in France, a yard in Germany, a buyer in the UK, settled in more than one currency. I architected the financial stack for the RB 2.0 program: Stripe Payments, Connect, Billing, Invoicing and Revenue Recognition for ASC 606 compliance, Sigma feeding every transaction to Oracle as the ledger, and Avalara as the end-to-end tax platform. The design covered split and partial payments, escrow funding, multi-currency settlement and automated consignor payouts. Leadership approved both vendors into contracting in August 2022, and the stack was implemented in 2023.

Gucci
ThoughtWorks · Strategy, enterprise architecture and execution lead · ThoughtWorks, about six months
Gucci's commerce ran on an on-premises SAP Hybris platform that slowed every change. I led the architecture, the roadmap and the execution of the move to a composable, microservices-based stack built around Commerce Layer, working on site in Milan two weeks on and two weeks off for about six months.

SUEZ Water Technologies & Solutions
SUEZ · Senior Director, Digital Technologies · 2019 to 2021
I owned the global digital platform for a $3.5B water technology company and migrated its $600M B2B business from a heavily customized legacy Salesforce B2B Commerce build to Adobe Commerce 2.4. Customers gained self-service for orders, invoices, shipments, payments and service requests, and the business case saved $400K a year in operating cost.
