What I'm looking for

I seek a data-driven supply chain role focused on forecasting, S&OP, and capacity planning where I can improve forecast accuracy, optimize inventory, and partner cross-functionally to scale operations.

I am a demand planning and supply chain professional with 7+ years of experience supporting forecasting, capacity planning, and S&OP across manufacturing and distribution environments. I have a proven track record of improving forecast accuracy, building scenario planning models, and partnering cross-functionally with Sales, Operations, and Finance to enable data-driven decisions.

My background includes advanced Excel, SQL, ERP (NetSuite) and WMS (Logiwa) expertise, leading operational teams, and delivering measurable improvements such as reducing shortages by 50% through S&OP and supply planning implementations. I consistently focus on process improvement, KPI development, and cross-functional collaboration to enhance planning visibility and execution efficiency.
