What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, collaboration, and innovation in supply chain operations.

I am a decisive and performance-focused operations professional with a sharp strategic mindset and a deep command of supply chain, logistics, and sales coordination across the Middle East, Europe, and Africa. Over the past seven years, I have driven multimillion-dollar cost savings, enabled faster order fulfillment across 120K+ SKUs, and helped prevent customs fines through operational audits. My experience includes leading cross-regional supply chain improvements at Linksys and high-pressure launches at DHL for global names like Microsoft, Belkin, and Amazon.

In my current role as an Order Management & Logistics Associate at Linksys, I spearheaded the full ERP migration from Oracle E-Business Suite to NetSuite, enhancing visibility and efficiency across departments. I have successfully managed high volumes of SKUs, implemented a POS-based forecasting model, and streamlined logistics processes, resulting in significant cost savings and improved operational performance. My collaborative approach ensures that I act as the connective tissue between operations, sales, warehousing, and finance, delivering insight and alignment to drive measurable results.
