What I'm looking for
I am an international operations and implementation leader with over ten years' experience across Europe, the Middle East and Asia, focused on supply chain, cold chain logistics and operational transformation.
I have led end-to-end Greenfield automated warehouse implementations, managing €4M capital expenditure per project, coordinating cross-functional teams, owning full project lifecycle governance and delivering go-live and operational handovers.
I combine hands-on logistics and 3PL management with process improvement skills (Lean Six Sigma Green Belt), financial acumen and stakeholder governance to optimize costs, improve resource utilization and stabilize operations post-launch.
