@khizarsyed
I build reliable pharmaceutical supply plans across complex global manufacturing networks.
What I'm looking for
At Sanofi, I manage global supply planning across Drug Substance and Drug Product manufacturing sites for specialty pharmaceutical and General Medicines portfolios. I resolved planning and data issues across a €1B portfolio, increasing supply plan accuracy from 60% to 95% while reducing risks of overproduction and supply disruption.
I turn complex operational data into practical planning tools, including KPI reporting for 21 sites, a tracking tool for 40+ stakeholders, and a VBA-based production scheduler that enables site teams to prioritize constraints independently.
Previously at ClimateCamp, I owned delivery of B2B sustainability SaaS features, increasing customer adoption by 15% and securing €110k in annual revenue. I also worked across industrial engineering contracts at Applied Engineering, delivering pipeline inspections faster, achieving €85,000+ in procurement savings, and improving efficiency by 20%.
I'm motivated by supply risk management, continuous improvement, and cross-functional work that keeps complex operations moving.
