What I'm looking for

I seek a supply-chain leadership role where I can apply data-driven forecasting, inventory optimization and BI to reduce costs, improve service, and scale operations within a collaborative, improvement-focused team.

I am a supply chain professional with progressive experience across inventory planning, demand forecasting and operational execution for ecommerce and FMCG channels. I manage multi-channel portfolios and use data-driven methods to optimize stock, costs and service levels.

My work has delivered measurable results: I implemented an inventory system that improved efficiency by 20% and cut stock-outs by 10%, raised forecast accuracy from 48% to 65%, reduced storage costs by 15% and lowered excess inventory by 30%. I have managed large portfolios (consumer goods across Amazon, Walmart, Target and marketplaces) and built BI dashboards to improve global sales reporting and decision making.

I lead teams on continuous improvement initiatives—coaching in Lean methods, implementing SAP S/4HANA PP and driving vendor/3PL improvements—to create scalable, process-driven supply chains focused on accuracy, cost control and customer service.
