About Andrew
From an early age, I was drawn to computer science and the ability to create practical solutions through code. While studying IT Engineering, I realized that understanding technology alone was not enough. I wanted to understand how technology drives business outcomes, which led me to focus on the intersection of IT and finance and ultimately into Enterprise Performance Management. After completing studies in both IT and Business Management, I began working in EPM and quickly gravitated toward Profitability and Cost Management. PCM is critical to effective decision making, yet it is frequently misunderstood and poorly implemented. My career has been focused on addressing this gap by designing scalable, transparent, and defensible profitability and allocation solutions using Oracle Cloud Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management. I specialize in complex allocation and transfer pricing models, automation using Groovy and PCM Agent, and deep integration with ERP, Planning, and Reporting ecosystems across industries including financial services, healthcare, aviation, manufacturing, and professional services. As an Oracle ACE Director, I actively engage with Oracle Product Management and the broader Oracle community through conference presentations, technical content, and peer mentoring. My focus is on bridging the gap between technical implementation and business value, helping organizations turn allocation models into trusted decision support capabilities.
