What I'm looking for

I seek a mid-level supply chain or material planning role where I can lead system implementations, optimize processes, and use analytics (Power BI, SQL) to improve material availability and launch readiness in a collaborative, fast-paced environment.

I am a business analyst and material planning specialist with hands-on experience in system implementation, process optimization, and operational launches across European, UK, and UAE supply chains.

I have led JIRA-based UAT across SAP workflows, supported 3 successful product launches and 26 model-year projects, and maintained >98% material availability through ERP adjustments and cycle counts. I built Power BI dashboards and data trackers that drove cost variance analysis, logistics performance reporting, and a risk-tracking system that reduced daily usage prediction error variance to 0.07.

I collaborate closely with engineering, procurement, and logistics partners to streamline supplier onboarding, freight scheduling, and BOM lifecycle changes, and I focus on stakeholder management, risk mitigation, and delivering data-driven decisions in fast-paced environments.
