Bernd Spengler

As a member of the Nordic Management Team , I was supporting business growth through sustainable IT solutions and strategic business process optimization with customers in focus. In 2025, I led IT, Product Quality, and H&S through Due Diligence for the company's divestment, contributing to its successful sale. Following closing, I managed a full IT and process carve-out on an aggressive timeline, ensuring uninterrupted business continuity throughout the transition.

I led the technical architecture for the Record-to-Report (R2R) workstream in Villeroy & Boch's global S/4HANA transformation, acting as the bridge between technical execution and business strategy to deliver a scalable, future-proof digital core.

As the lead program manager for SAP ERP and MES system implementation across North Europe, I successfully implemented all core business processes in SAP. My role encompassed overall responsibility for project success including budget management & change management. The project spanned 7 countries, 5 legal units, and 2 production sites. This project also included to harmonized IT infrastructure operations to Villeroy & Boch group standards.

Numerous assignments as a project manager in corporate projects in regions such as Europe, North America, and Asia, mainly for post-merger & acquisition process integration

n my role as an internal business consultant and application architect for SAP Finance, Controlling and Material Management at Villeroy & Boch, I designed adaptable, template-based solutions tailored to various countries' regulatory needs. This role enabled me to engage in cross-functional projects across sales, logistics, and production, giving me a holistic view of the company's operations. These experiences were invaluable for my work managing global SAP projects.
