What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for growth in a collaborative environment.

I am José Ignacio Conejero, a dedicated Supply Chain Head with a strong background in Business Administration and a Magister in Marketing and International Businesses. My career spans over 15 years in various leadership roles across multiple industries, including pharmaceuticals, food, and logistics. I have a proven track record of driving operational efficiencies and cost reductions, exemplified by my recent achievements at Philip Morris International, where I led initiatives that generated significant productivity gains and cost savings.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed complex supply chain operations, implemented innovative processes, and led cross-functional teams to achieve strategic goals. My experience includes founding my own consulting firm, where I designed and executed restructuring processes for companies, and I am passionate about leveraging data analytics and project management methodologies to enhance supply chain performance. I am committed to fostering a culture of continuous improvement and collaboration within my teams.
