Rainer Hentschel
Enterprise AI & SAP Transformation Lead
With 17 years of experience, I lead your international SAP or Enterprise AI project to success – as project manager, program manager, or workstream lead. I bridge business and IT and guide critical projects to a controlled go-live through rigorous test and cutover management. I apply the same discipline to AI initiatives: with AI coding agents, test automation, LLM evals and guardrails – from pilot to production.
