@flaviomenezes

Global transformation leader at IFF, delivering a $15.7M SKU rationalization portfolio and digital operations programs.

At IFF, I lead a global portfolio of digital transformation and operational excellence initiatives across supply chain, manufacturing, procurement, logistics, and commercial operations. I turn strategic priorities into roadmaps, governance, and value-delivery plans.

I lead the SKU Rationalization portfolio across multiple business units, establishing PMO governance and value-realization routines for $15.7M in realized benefits. The work supports portfolio simplification, lower cost-to-serve, and improved manufacturing efficiency.

Before that, at IFF, I led global transformation programs using analytics to optimize product portfolio, pricing, capacity, and logistics. Economic Profit Optimization delivered $25M in variable profit uplift, and shipment consolidation and complexity reduction delivered $3M in logistics savings.

At DUPONT - Nutrition & Health, I developed and deployed global advanced-analytics platforms for inventory optimization and product portfolio decisions, contributing to $40M+ in global inventory reduction. My work also includes supply planning and distribution, supported by APICS CPIM, Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, Professional Scrum Master, and Analytics Business Translator certifications.
