What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead or improve operations, production planning, inventory, and continuous-improvement initiatives where I can use data, KPIs, and practical controls to increase efficiency, quality, and profitability.

At SPES SA, I coordinate sales requirements with production, plan raw materials, and manage production orders through ERP and SAP. Previously at IKEA, I controlled stock variances and internal merchandise processes, reducing unjustified product loss by 22% in four months and theft-related losses by 15%.

I've led production and operations across water dispensers, frozen foods, and beverage manufacturing, managing teams of up to eight people. I build KPIs, production plans, controls, procedures, and improvement initiatives that increase capacity, reduce reprocessing, and strengthen quality, efficiency, and profitability.
