Her career has spanned development, consulting and implementation, with a focus on delivering tailored ERP solutions across core business areas, including finance, procurement, supply chain and project accounting.
Prior to joining Symatrix, Bilung built a strong track record across a range of blue-chip companies, including Tesco Bank, Accenture, and Grant Thornton, where she played a pivotal role in establishing and scaling ERP practices.
