Message

At ZELESTRA, a renewable energy company focused on photovoltaic solar plants, I identify and evaluate suppliers, negotiate commercial terms, and manage purchase orders through delivery. I also assess supplier performance and propose improvements.

At CROWN HOLDINGS INC. (actual SONOCO METAL PACKAGING), I worked as Logistics Manager and previously as Intercompany Sales Coordinator. I oversaw plant logistics operations, led a team of supervisors and operators, coordinated production and deliveries across European plants, and worked with clients including Nestlé and Unilever.
