What I'm looking for

Seeking a dynamic team where I can leverage my background in manufacturing and operations to drive customer service excellence and business growth.

As a dedicated and results-oriented professional with over four years of experience in manufacturing and operations management, I excel in driving operational efficiencies and fostering business growth. My journey began as a Production Assistant at Astra Industries, where I honed my skills in manufacturing processes, inventory control, and quality improvement. This foundation led me to co-found Jewel Paints, where I currently serve as Operations Manager, overseeing all aspects of production, budget management, and strategic planning.

My expertise lies in process optimization, team leadership, and stakeholder engagement. I have successfully implemented workforce planning tools that boosted operational efficiency and reduced costs. Additionally, I led marketing campaigns that increased market share by 10% within six months. My ability to analyze data and apply insights has been instrumental in improving relationships between business entities and driving profitability.

I hold a B.Tech (Hons) in Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering and have completed certifications in Life Skills and Corporate Leadership, as well as Intellectual Property. I am proficient in Microsoft Office Suite, AUTOCAD, VISIO, and PROENGINEER, with a strong focus on problem-solving and negotiation. I am committed to continuous improvement and fostering a culture of productivity and loyalty within organizations.
