I'm Anna, and I have had an exciting journey in the world of supply chain management. It all began when I started as a purchasing specialist trainee at ABB. Over the course of more than three years, I had the opportunity to work in various specialties within the supply chain department.

🥳 My biggest achievements were getting a holistic skillset and knowledge of the different specialties in the corporate world as I was changing positions in the SC department. I am most proud of improving Kanban processes, suppliers' ROTD & OTD, inventory turnover ratio, and CR % (cost reduction).

Currently, I am the Head of Supply Chain at an e-commerce company mainly focused on selling on Amazon.

🏆I consider my biggest achievements to be building an inventory management system from scratch, expanding the network of partners and service providers for everyday SC needs, building a team, and achieving different KPIs.

Having worked in different worlds - corporate and startup, I have acquired a lot of experience and new skills, some of which are:

  • SAP ERP

  • Negotiations

  • Supplier relations

  • Demand planning

  • Contract set up

  • Project management

  • Inventory management system set up

  • Global sourcing (manufacturers, resellers, warehouses, other service providers)

  • Strategy set up

  • Business critical KPIs detection, measuring, and management

I am known for my cheerful and positive attitude. I value honesty, concreteness, good humor, and continuous self-development. I like teamwork and using my strong analytical mindset to crunch numbers 👩‍💻 I enjoy putting the meaning behind the numbers and finding ways to improve the outcome.

One of my biggest passion is watching biathlon and cheering my favorites. I also enjoy reading, traveling, and spending time with close friends and family

I am passionate about supply chain management and its different sides. I am dedicated to driving success in my role.
