What I'm looking for

I am seeking a senior operations or supply chain role in a reputable organization where I can lead logistics, optimize costs, scale distribution, mentor teams, and implement process and SAP-driven efficiencies.

I am a goal-oriented supply chain and logistics professional with extensive experience in logistics planning, inventory and warehouse management, and transport operations within the media and newspaper industry. I have led large teams, implemented SOPs, and worked hands-on with ERP systems including SAP (SD, PP, MM).

Across my career I have driven end-to-end dispatch and distribution functions, managed 250+ vehicle operations, negotiated with carriers and vendors to reduce transportation costs, and led process improvements such as SAP requirements to reduce manual work. I have a proven track record in P&L contribution, revenue and EBITDA growth, and sustaining on-time delivery performance.

I seek senior-level assignments where I can apply my strengths in strategic planning, vendor negotiation, fleet and transport management, and team leadership to optimize operations, reduce costs, and improve service levels.
