SAP S/4HANA Programme Manager
Marc Hanbuerger
Carve-Out & Cutover Specialist
I specialise in the programmes most SAP PMs don't want — divestitures, carve-outs, and live-system cutovers where there is no margin for error.
What I Do
Cutover Strategy & Execution
Runbooks, rehearsals, go/no-go frameworks, rollback planning. The mechanics that determine whether a go-live succeeds or fails.
Divestiture & Carve-Out Programmes
Splitting systems that were never designed to be split, on timelines that are contractually non-negotiable.
Complex S/4HANA Transformations
Public Cloud, Private Cloud, RISE. Multi-vendor environments. Regulated sectors including GxP.

About
German native, based in West Berkshire, UK. I've spent the last fifteen-plus years in SAP programme delivery — from complex S/4HANA transformations to full carve-outs under TSA deadlines.
PRINCE2 Practitioner and Certified Scrum Master. Comfortable operating across UK and European engagements, in English and German.
Outside of work, I'm on a smallholding in the Berkshire countryside, usually found under a classic Citroën 2CV or dealing with something that's escaped a fence. There's a human behind the CV.
