What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a supply chain role where I can run end-to-end logistics and inventory operations, strengthen contract compliance, and drive results through KPI reporting and process optimization—preferably with remote EU/global opportunities.

I’m a multilingual ocean logistics and supply chain specialist with 9+ years coordinating international supply chain operations across the Americas and Europe. I combine hands-on logistics execution with analytics to keep inventory, shipments, and documentation moving smoothly.

Over the years, I’ve led inventory control and shipment coordination, managed import/export documentation, and strengthened contract compliance and process optimization. I deliver KPI reporting and data-driven insights to leadership using Excel, Power BI, and Oracle ERP—often partnering across operations, finance, sales, legal, and engineering to prevent delays and reduce costs.

I also bring contract and procurement rigor from my government logistics analyst experience, where I managed 230+ contracts and supported SLA-compliant execution. Alongside my logistics career, I work as an independent language and business Portuguese specialist, sharpening communication and cross-cultural problem-solving in both client and professional environments.
