Making digital transformation work, built on data, process and governance

Data & Governance

Clear ownership, trusted master data and governance that people actually use. Data treated as part of the business process, not a clean-up task at the end.

Process & Transformation

Designing end-to-end processes across procurement, supply chain and finance, and bringing the business along through change and adoption, so new systems and ways of working actually stick.

Risk, Controls & AI

Controls built into the process instead of added on top, and a pragmatic view on AI in regulated industries: what it takes to make data and governance AI-ready.

ABOUT ME

I’m Alexandru Bortnic, a transformation leader based in the Zurich area. I work where business processes, data and controls meet, and I enjoy getting organizations from today to tomorrow in a way that lasts.

I started in consulting with KPMG, Deloitte and EY, working with multinational companies across industries on data, risk and process transformation. Today I work in-house at Tecan as Global Business Partner Process Owner in a global ERP transformation.

My background is in international logistics management and engineering (Jacobs University Bremen), complemented by the MBA Essentials programme at the London School of Economics and the Artificial Intelligence Programme at Oxford Saïd Business School. I’m a member of DAMA International, Zurich Chapter.

Most transformations don’t fail on the system. They fail on the data and the processes nobody owns. This site is where I share what I learn along the way.
