WELLINGTON, FL, January 16, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Cornelius Greyling has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Mr. Greyling has established a distinguished career spanning nearly three decades as an IT executive, SAP transformation leader, and enterprise program manager, with senior leadership roles across Europe, Latin America, and the United States. His work is characterized by the ability to translate business strategy into executable technology programs, particularly in highly regulated and complex environments such as banking, utilities, energy, and automotive industries.
Since June 2025, Mr. Greyling has served as a Senior Project Manager at SAP Industries, Inc., where he directs large-scale ERP transformation programs for utilities sector clients. His responsibilities include full lifecycle project management of SAP implementations, oversight of project planning, execution, and delivery within scope, budget, and timeline, collaboration with cross-functional teams to define project scope, requirements, and key performance indicators, and the identification and recommendation of business systems solutions with broad organizational impact. He also drives continuous improvement initiatives and provides leadership to multidisciplinary project teams.
From August 2024 to January 2025, Mr. Greyling worked as a senior project manager on a freelance basis at Blue Planet Digital, contracting for SAP Fioneer Americas. In this role, he directed SAP S/4HANA implementation projects in the banking sector, implemented delivery structures, processes, and templates, coached PMO teams, interfaced with international counterparts, and was responsible for resource capacity planning, controlling, and participation in invoicing control.
From December 2021 to May 2024, Mr. Greyling held progressively senior roles at Natuvion Americas, Inc., an SAP partner specializing in large-scale data transformation programs. As senior project manager, delivery manager, and later Head of Delivery for the Americas, he led complex divestiture-driven data migration initiatives in the automotive, utilities, and energy sectors, often under stringent confidentiality and cutover constraints. He established delivery standards and PMO structures for the U.S. subsidiary, led cross-functional onshore and offshore teams across the Americas, and coordinated delivery with teams in Germany, Switzerland, Slovakia, and the Asia-Pacific region. In his final role, he also supported sales operations, contributing to pipeline management, proposal development, and customer-facing solution design.
Earlier, Mr. Greyling worked as a freelance senior project management consultant between February and December 2021, leading the first SAP S/4HANA banking implementation in Chile, including Ariba Sourcing and Buying, and managing a multi-country S/4HANA rollout for an international automotive supplier operating across 11 countries. From November 2020 to February 2021, he served as senior project manager at SNP Schneider-Neureither & Partner AG, where he led consecutive SAP S/4HANA lifecycles for an international customer in the fruit export industry and acted as the single point of contact for delivery, support, and executive reporting.
A significant portion of Mr. Greyling's career was spent at SAP SE between 2010 and 2020, where he held a series of senior leadership roles including Senior Delivery Executive, Services / Support Partner, Regional Program Manager for Financial Services, Consulting Manager, Services Account Manager, and Banking Architect. In these roles, he managed large-scale SAP programs across Latin America, including core banking transformations and S/4HANA implementations, frequently operating with board and C-level visibility. He was directly involved in global project escalations, de-risking troubled programs, and coordinating delivery across more than 35 locations in 16 countries.
Among his most notable early achievements is his work at Zürcher Kantonalbank in Switzerland, where between 2000 and 2005 he served as IT project manager and technical banking architect. He led the first commercial SAP Banking implementation outside the original SAP-UBS-Deutsche Postbank development alliance, including the migration of core accounting systems to SAP Financial Services Account Management. This work established foundational patterns later reused in global SAP banking deployments.
Equally formative was Mr. Greyling's role as Director of Research and Development at Scopix Solutions LLC in Santiago, Chile, from 2006 to 2008. In this capacity, he built and led the research and development organization, with full budget responsibility, designing and delivering a proprietary video analytics platform for the retail sector. This work involved early large-scale data processing and analytics architectures and represents a precursor to modern AI-driven retail intelligence systems. The experience significantly influenced his later approach to data-intensive enterprise transformation programs.
Mr. Greyling's career also reflects strong entrepreneurial experience. He founded and managed Arbol Logika S.A. between 1996 and 2000, providing international IT consulting and product development services across Switzerland, Germany, and the United States. From 2005 to 2009, he temporarily stepped away from enterprise IT to build and operate a profitable beachfront boutique hotel and restaurant in Chile, overseeing the venture from concept through sustained operations.
Mr. Greyling's academic background includes a Bachelor of Arts in humanities with a focus on humanistic studies from the University of Johannesburg in South Africa, earned in April 1989. He also holds a diploma in art studies from the National School of Arts (NSA) in Johannesburg. His education provided a foundation in critical thinking, systems perspective, and adaptability that has remained instrumental throughout his multifaceted professional career.
He has pursued extensive professional development through a broad range of certifications and executive education programs. These include Exploring SAP's Strategy for 2025 from SAP; Project Management Professional certification from the Project Management Institute; IPMA Level B certification from the International Project Management Association; and multiple advanced courses from the Project Management Institute focused on generative artificial intelligence, including generative AI overview for project managers, data landscapes for generative AI, practical application of generative AI, and prompt engineering for project managers. Additional professional development includes agile software development, applying lean DevOps, and lean technology strategy via LinkedIn Learning; artificial intelligence: implications for business strategy from MIT Sloan School of Management; digital strategies for business: leading the next generation from Columbia Business School; and enterprise machine learning from SAP, among others.
Mr. Greyling attributes his professional success to long-term immersion in diverse cultures, both linguistically and professionally, which fostered adaptability, perspective, and openness throughout his life. His early exposure to technical programming while working as a bookkeeper led him into computing, and he later advanced into senior project and program leadership roles within financial institutions and large enterprises across Europe and Latin America.
Beyond his corporate achievements, Mr. Greyling is committed to professional and civic engagement. He has served as a mentor and guest lecturer, and has received recognition for outstanding performance, including the SAP Winner's Circle award in 2011.
Mr. Greyling is also an accomplished author and thought leader. He regularly contributes technical articles to LinkedIn and publishes contributions to newsletters through the Project Management Institute, sharing insights on SAP transformation, enterprise delivery governance, and large-scale program management.
Born in Cape Town, South Africa, Mr. Greyling resides in the United States. Outside his professional commitments, he maintains a strong interest in cooking, drawing, travel, and writing.
Looking ahead, Mr. Greyling is focused on documenting and analyzing the structural dynamics that cause large enterprise transformation programs, particularly SAP implementations, to lose control gradually rather than fail outright. His work examines how governance models, decision latency, reporting behaviors, and organizational incentives interact to create predictable patterns of drift that are often misdiagnosed as execution or performance issues. Rather than proposing another prescriptive methodology, his objective is to provide practitioners and leaders with clear diagnostic lenses, early warning indicators, and decision frameworks that make latent risk visible in time to act, improving outcomes through realism, accountability, and informed intervention.
