What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a supply chain role where I can drive supplier performance and end-to-end planning standardization using data analytics, while partnering with cross-functional teams to improve service levels, operational efficiency, and production continuity.

I’m a Global Supply Chain professional with experience across procurement, IBP planning, manufacturing scheduling, and international trade and logistics in LATAM and Europe. I currently work through a global rotation program at Nutreco, focusing on supplier performance, planning standardization, and production.

I bring a data-driven approach to cross-functional decision-making, using tools like Power BI to build real-time dashboards that connect OTIF, quality KPIs, and payment terms. I’ve led supplier performance work, including a supplier scorecard model to baseline vendor performance and risk, and I’ve supported sourcing and supplier evaluation through IBP / S&OP analysis.

Across my previous roles, I’ve strengthened end-to-end import logistics and vendor management, coordinating across multiple departments and external partners to reduce transit and demurrage costs. I’m especially motivated by process optimization—standardizing planning across manufacturing plants, validating master data, and ensuring capacity and scheduling continuity through strategic sourcing and contract negotiation.
