At ALDI USA, I lead the Specials master data screening and purchase order placement team, helping ensure product and promotional information is accurate and complete. I reduced team master data errors by 18% and implemented eight centralized screening reports in Tableau, streamlining four tracking processes.

During my assignment as Project Manager at ALDI SÜD in Austria, I developed Store and Shelf Planning processes and represented the Global Domain Team in UAT. I also supported allocation and reporting improvements at ALDI USA, including a space-planning program that increased allocation accuracy by 10%.
