Strong candidate — recommend interview. Validate depth of hands‑on D365 F&O manufacturing, supply chain and WMS experience and his experience running AMS/governance and ERP strategy at enterprise scale.

Nearly 30 years in paints/coatings/specialty chemicals with deep domain knowledge in manufacturing, quality, regulatory and formula management; direct ERP experience (D365 and Epicor); proven application management and project leadership; strong technical skills (MS CS, SQL, Power BI); experience across R&D, manufacturing and supply chain processes which align well with the role.

Unclear whether he has served as an IT Head/functional leader with full P&L, budget and team ownership; need specifics on large-scale D365 F&O implementations for Manufacturing/WMS and AMS governance experience at enterprise scale; confirm availability/location if relocation or onsite presence in Devens, MA is required.

John is a high-potential match for IT Head of Dynamics 365 at Veranova given his industry domain and ERP/D365 background. Interview to probe senior leadership responsibilities, scale of past D365 F&O/WMS work, AMS governance experience, and cloud/integration architecture exposure.

Potential gaps to address before applying: 1) Explicit examples of leading full D365 F&O go‑lives and running AMS governance programs—if limited, map Epicor/other ERP leadership experience to D365 outcomes. 2) Formal Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O / Finance & SCM certifications or recent D365 project references. 3) Specific D365 Warehouse Management (WMS) implementations (RF, inbound/outbound processes, integrations). 4) Demonstrated cloud/DevOps/ALM experience for AMS (Azure, CI/CD, release management). 5) Clear, quantified business outcomes from ERP projects (cost reduction, lead time, OTIF, defect rates). 6) Global/multi‑site rollout and 3rd‑party ISV partner management examples—add these if available.

1) Describe a D365 F&O or equivalent ERP manufacturing implementation you led end‑to‑end. What were the scope, timeline, team structure and measurable outcomes?; 2) How have you designed and run an AMS/support governance model (SLAs, escalation, release calendar, cost control)?; 3) Give a concrete example where you optimized supply chain or warehouse processes (WMS) and the business impact (KPIs improved).; 4) How do you evaluate and onboard third‑party ISV solutions and integrations for D365?; 5) Walk me through a major production/warehouse integration (RF, conveyors, MES, lab/QC) you managed — technical challenges and resolution. ; 6) How do you prioritize tactical support tickets vs. strategic ERP roadmap work?; 7) Explain how you used SQL/Power BI to create dashboards that changed operational behavior—what metrics and decisions were enabled?; 8) Describe a time you managed regulatory or quality requirements (pharma/life sciences) within an ERP or formula management system.; 9) How do you approach change management with manufacturing, supply chain, and operations stakeholders? Give a recent example.; 10) What is your experience with cloud deployments, Azure services, and DevOps practices related to Dynamics 365 or enterprise applications?

I bring nearly 30 years in paints, coatings and specialty chemicals, combining deep manufacturing and formula/quality domain knowledge with extensive ERP experience (Epicor, D365), SQL and Power BI. Position me as the candidate who can align D365 F&O and WMS capabilities to real plant-floor needs, implement an AMS governance model that reduces run‑costs, and convert regulatory and formula complexity into controlled ERP processes. Highlight measurable wins (reduced lead times, improved OTIF, stabilized support after go‑live) and my ability to lead cross‑functional teams. I am eager to drive your ERP strategy and ensure the platform delivers operational and financial outcomes.
