Walt Sirene is the R & D and PreSales technical director at SAP NS2 . He describes himself as wearing two hats in terms of his role . “ I run the presales organisation focused on our defence and intel clients . I also run our labs organisation , which is a Research and Development and sales-focused organisation that does a lot of collaboration with partners such as AWS and others to create and bring solutions that are unique to our clients and accelerate sales cycles .”
This unique positioning puts Sirene in two critical areas that oversee new developments - and the application of those developments in a commercial setting .
Sirene started off his career in the functional supply chain business for the US Federal Government . He attributes this experience and background as having given him a unique insight into the supply chain lens .
“ I like to view things as raw material coming in , that you add some sort of value to it , and then you release a finished product ,”
he says succinctly . “ Having that lens and looking at things very simply allows me to look for ways to improve things . I ' m always about improving things , making things better . And that foundation of the supply chain gave me a good start and put me on my career path into technology .”
Data management and analytics SAP NS2 has been a leader in bringing innovation to leading government bodies in the US . Sirene , who started off his career as a government employee , knows only too well the challenges that occur within the confines of political establishments and has therefore been well placed to facilitate and manage projects that require more sensitivity and flexibility than most .
Recently , SAP NS2 helped implement a new set of processes for a US Department of Defense-related client . Sirene explains : “ They had a problem with exposing all their data and models that they were making
