What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration and encourages continuous improvement in supply chain operations.

I am a detail-oriented and result-driven professional with a robust background in supply chain management, procurement, purchasing, and demand planning. My proven track record includes exceeding service level targets, reducing costs, and enhancing operational efficiency. I pride myself on being a collaborative leader with exceptional communication skills and a commitment to continuous improvement.

Currently, I serve as an Inventory Manager at Atkore Unistrut Construction, where I have successfully monitored and maintained optimal inventory levels, reducing stockouts by 15%. I developed and implemented new inventory tracking procedures that reduced discrepancies by 30%, and I trained and mentored staff, resulting in a 25% increase in efficiency. My previous role as a Forecast Planning Manager at Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits allowed me to lead forecast planning for a diverse portfolio of products, achieving a forecast accuracy of 85% or higher.

Throughout my career, I have consistently utilized data analytics and ERP systems like SAP and Power BI to optimize processes and drive significant cost savings. My educational background includes an MBA and a Bachelor’s in Supply Chain Operations Management, equipping me with the knowledge and skills to excel in senior supply chain roles.
