What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead supply chain improvements using Lean, analytics and ERP systems, deliver cost savings, and grow into broader operations leadership.

I am a Supply Chain & Operations professional with over six years of experience across procurement, inventory management, production planning, and logistics in Latin America. I combine Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma methodologies with ERP/MRP systems to optimize end-to-end supply chain performance.

In my current role I coordinate procurement, inventory, production scheduling and logistics, and I have led efforts that cut procurement and planning cycle times by 90% and raised production efficiency from 40% to over 80%. I build KPI-driven Power BI dashboards and improve ERP workflows to accelerate order-to-delivery cycles.

Previously I managed quality and customer operations, reducing claim resolution time by 40% through cross-functional collaboration, corrective actions, and supplier management. I have hands-on experience with Odoo, SAP, Oracle, Power BI, Excel (VBA, Power Query), and practical exposure to Python for analytics.

I hold a Bachelor in Chemical Engineering and certifications in Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma Green Belt. I am fluent in English and Spanish, and I work effectively with international and remote teams to deliver measurable supply chain improvements.
