What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on role improving operational quality and supplier processes in a collaborative, fast-paced company where I can lead projects, train teams, and deliver measurable efficiency gains.

I am a results-driven quality technician with international experience across logistics, operations and supplier management. I have contributed measurable process improvements—such as achieving 100% inventory control and increasing warehouse recycling by 40%—and built tools to support SAP teams and supplier databases.

I thrive leading hands-on projects and training colleagues, having instructed a team on SAP MM and developed control tools for SAP MM/FI/CO. I bring a blend of academic training in industrial management and practical experience from companies including Volkswagen, Decathlon, Greenvolt Next and FIFA event interpreting.
