Fleurimond : Leading Deloitte ’ s cloud ERP portfolio for higher ed
Today , Fleurimond is responsible for managing an integrated discipline across cloud ERP systems that enable transformation with Deloitte ’ s higher education clients .
“ Our teams sit at the intersection of essential modern administrative systems in higher education , including HR , payroll , finance , budget and planning and student information systems ,” she says .
