What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that values collaboration and offers opportunities for growth in supply chain management.

With extensive experience in demand planning, inventory management, and procurement, I have successfully managed portfolios of over 1,200 SKUs, ensuring product availability while maintaining high standards of food safety compliance.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with cross-functional teams to drive improvements in forecasting accuracy and inventory levels. My achievements include increasing forecast accuracy from 60% to over 75% at Pernod Ricard and reducing air shipments by 10% at Pacific Flavours & Ingredients. I am passionate about leveraging data-driven insights to inform decision-making and enhance supply chain performance.
