At L’ORÉAL, I created and implemented automated launch-planning processes that improved new product forecast accuracy from under 80% to 95% in six months. I also shared planning best practices across division supply teams and trained five new employees in one year.

As Supply & Demand Coordinator in Panamá City, I coordinated procurement planning for Central America and managed planning for more than 2,000 SKUs. I revamped the supply planning process with marketing, demand planning, and sales, increasing fill rate by 5% in the first six months and 7% in the first year.

At KIMBERLY-CLARK, I redesigned an Excel planning tool that reduced the planning process from three days to one, improved forecast accuracy to approximately 95%, and decreased extra warehouse costs by 80%. My experience also includes supplier management, procurement, inventory planning, and supply chain work across Central America and the Caribbean.
