What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement in supply chain management.

I am a highly motivated supply chain management specialist with over 7 years of experience in bridging policy strategy and operational management. My expertise lies in project leadership, data analysis, and cross-functional coordination, which I have effectively utilized to drive efficiency and resilience in logistics networks across both private and public sectors.

Throughout my career, I have led national-level supply chain initiatives, including formulating cost-reducing policies that significantly lowered logistics expenses for industry players. My role in drafting high-impact legislation, such as the 'International Maritime Trade Competitiveness Act,' showcases my commitment to enhancing the competitiveness of the shipping sector. I have also successfully resolved critical logistics bottlenecks during the COVID-19 pandemic, collaborating with stakeholders to ensure the continuity of supply lines.

In addition to my technical skills, I possess strong interpersonal abilities that enable me to lead teams effectively and foster collaboration. I am passionate about continuous improvement and am always seeking opportunities to leverage data-driven insights for better decision-making in supply chain management.
