What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values collaboration, offers growth opportunities, and challenges me to innovate.

I am a vastly experienced supply chain professional with significant expertise in materials management, inventory control, and customer service. My career spans over two decades at Arco Ltd, where I have honed my skills in liaising with customers and suppliers, building strong relationships, and developing effective solutions to complex problems. I thrive in both individual and team settings, demonstrating versatility and loyalty in every role I undertake.

Throughout my tenure, I have led continuous improvement initiatives, managed inventory levels of approximately 3000 SKUs, and implemented updated non-conformance systems that enhanced operational efficiency. My commitment to mentoring and training new starters has been a cornerstone of my professional ethos, ensuring that knowledge and best practices are shared across teams. I excelled during the Covid pandemic, adapting to remote and hybrid working environments while maintaining high standards of communication and collaboration.
