What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, encourages innovation, and offers opportunities for professional growth in supply chain management.

I am a results-oriented supply chain and operations specialist with a strong background in demand forecasting, resource coordination, and stakeholder engagement. My experience has equipped me with the ability to enhance distribution efficiency and improve order fulfillment accuracy. I am known for driving continuous improvement through analytical insight and cross-functional teamwork.

In my recent role as a Production Planner at Rampf Group of Companies, I assisted in the implementation and optimization of ERP systems, streamlining production planning and managing significant inventory. My previous positions have allowed me to develop expertise in procurement, vendor management, and process improvement, consistently achieving cost savings and operational efficiencies.

I am passionate about leveraging my skills in data analysis and forecasting to contribute to organizational success. I thrive in collaborative environments where I can engage with diverse teams to optimize supply chain processes and drive impactful results.
