Results-driven supply chain analyst with a focus on operational efficiency.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Supply Chain Analyst with a proven track record of optimizing workflows and improving operational efficiency across various business units. Currently, I work at 3M Company, where I utilize my expertise in data analytics tools such as Excel and Power BI to generate key performance indicators and drive continuous improvement initiatives. My analytical skills have enabled me to reduce order backlogs significantly, achieving a remarkable 75% improvement in order fulfillment efficiency.
Prior to my role at 3M, I gained valuable experience at ConAgra Brands, where I served as a Materials & Operations Planner and Logistics Planner. My responsibilities included managing inventory levels, coordinating material requirements for new product rollouts, and developing spreadsheet macros that streamlined data processing. My ability to partner cross-functionally with procurement, logistics, and sales has been instrumental in aligning supply chain strategies with business goals, ultimately contributing to increased customer satisfaction and product adoption.
With a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from Bellevue University, I am passionate about leveraging my skills to drive operational excellence and support organizational growth. I thrive in dynamic environments and am committed to fostering collaborative relationships that enhance supply chain performance.
