What I'm looking for

I'm seeking senior supply chain or operations roles where I can apply SAP integration, supply chain analytics, predictive forecasting, and strategic inventory management to improve visibility, reduce costs, and optimize end-to-end processes.

I've improved supply chain performance at Skanem Africa and Mabati Rolling Mills by connecting SAP data with predictive analytics, Power BI dashboards, and operational planning. My work has reduced stockouts by 21%, improved procurement and logistics costs by 17%, and strengthened demand-supply alignment by 23%.

I lead production and finished-goods planning, warehouse operations, S&OP coordination, and inventory reconciliation across manufacturing and logistics environments. I use Python, SQL, SAP MM/PP/SD, Power BI, Tableau, and advanced Excel to turn inventory, supplier, and production data into practical decisions.
