What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can apply SQL, Python, and Tableau to uncover inefficiencies, build a strong business case, and deliver measurable supply chain improvements through KPI-driven decision-making and practical execution.

I’m a strategic Data Analyst and proven operations leader with two decades of experience transforming complex global supply chains. I focus on diagnosing hidden inefficiencies, building the business case for change, and executing solutions that drive measurable improvements.

In logistics and procurement roles, I’ve used KPI-driven, data-driven frameworks to cut costs and improve performance. I spearheaded a strategic overhaul that reduced supply chain costs by 20% and holding costs by 2M EUR, while also delivering a 20% reduction in total supply chain costs and cutting annual holding costs by 2M EUR.

My work blends analytics and execution: architecting KPI foundations, modeling and forecasting logistics impact, and implementing Warehouse Management System (WMS) change end-to-end. I’m currently open to opportunities and bring hands-on skills across SQL, Python (Pandas, Jupyter), Tableau, and Power BI to help teams make confident decisions and deliver results.
