Iโ€™ve delivered ERP-based reports with near-perfect accuracy, improved order fulfilment times by 25%, and reduced product returns by 35% through quality and inventory control. Whether overseeing compliance, coordinating virtual teams, or driving B2B engagement, my work has consistently contributed to the strategic success of the businesses Iโ€™ve supported.
