What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role to drive digitization, operational excellence and sustainable packaging initiatives, lead cross-functional teams, and deliver measurable cost and efficiency gains.

I am a results-driven supply chain and operations leader with expertise in procurement, forecasting, production planning, logistics, and international trade. I hold a Master's in Global Supply Chain Management and I am a certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt.

I have established end-to-end supply chain operations for corrugated packaging and flexible manufacturers, designing SAP S/4HANA material management and production planning modules. My digitization initiatives automated 90% of data collection and delivered significant process efficiencies.

I led strategic procurement for high-volume importing (1000+ containers/year), optimized vendor bases, and managed capacity allocations up to 2000MT, driving measurable cost savings and direct P&L impact. My Six Sigma projects realized over $100,000 in cumulative savings while implementing WMS, MRP automation and CAPEX racking projects.

I seek roles where I can drive operational excellence, lead cross-functional digital transformation and sustainable packaging initiatives, and scale manufacturing operations internationally. I bring a hands-on approach to continuous improvement, stakeholder collaboration and measurable value delivery.
