We’re pleased to welcome Mikelis Stepanuks (Mitch), the latest Master Anaplanner & Solution Architect to join Zooss.
Mitch brings over five years of experience designing and delivering enterprise planning models across FP&A, workforce planning and supply chain, with recent experience in private equity and real estate development.
For our clients, Mitch’s appointment adds further depth to our ability to design planning environments that handle complexity at scale, while remaining aligned to business processes and supporting informed decision-making.
Designing planning models that work in practice
Mitch’s experience spans requirements, design and delivery, with a focus on building planning models that support real business decisions.
He has worked across private equity and real estate to deliver fund forecasting and feasibility models that inform investment and development decisions, aligning financial planning with operational decision-making.
Handling complexity without compromising usability
Mitch specialises in designing models that handle complexity while remaining usable for business teams.
His experience includes global headcount and workforce planning, investment and development planning, and supply chain planning. He has built Monte Carlo simulation models to help stakeholders understand a range of possible outcomes and quantify risk under uncertainty and developed an optimisation model for material resource planning that improved efficiency and supported better operational decision-making.
Supporting planning transformation in practice
At Zooss, planning transformation is about more than implementing a platform. It is about embedding a new way of working across the business.
Mitch’s experience aligns with this approach, including designing models that reflect how organisations operate and enabling teams to use planning outputs to inform decisions. This ensures planning environments are structured for ongoing use and embedded in how decisions are made, not just delivered as a system.
Better business planning
As Managing Director Steve Bows notes: “Mitch’s Master Anaplanner accreditation reflects the highest level of capability in the Anaplan ecosystem. For our clients, this translates into planning solutions that are better designed, more robust, and more effective in supporting business decisions.”
Welcome to the team, Mitch
Outside of work, Mitch stays active and involved with the local community, playing football, running marathons, and volunteering with the RFS. The same drive to push himself and do hard things well shows up both personally and professionally.
We’re excited to have Mitch on board as we continue supporting our clients with practical planning solutions that improve decision-making and performance.
