What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and growth opportunities.

I am a dedicated Supply Chain Manager with extensive experience in demand planning and inventory optimization. At Apple, I led end-to-end supply and demand modeling, optimizing inventory for over 10 million units and achieving a remarkable 99% execution rate for new product introductions. My ability to collaborate with global stakeholders has resulted in improved capacity planning and significant year-over-year growth.

Previously, at Unilever, I managed demand planning for eight brands, driving historic sales growth of 22.3%. I introduced innovative software solutions to enhance collaboration and forecast accuracy, achieving substantial inventory turnover. My leadership in logistics and distribution has consistently resulted in improved on-time delivery and cost savings, showcasing my commitment to operational excellence.

With a strong educational background in Finance and Supply Chain Management from Rutgers University, I am passionate about leveraging data-driven insights to influence strategic decision-making. I thrive in dynamic environments and am eager to contribute my expertise to drive supply chain efficiencies and business growth.
