Nika Zharykava
@nikazharykava
I deliver complex programs, operations, and process improvements across supply chain and software.
What I'm looking for
I manage complex cross-functional work end to end, from budgets, schedules, resources, risks, and vendors through delivery. Across freelance projects, I managed six concurrent initiatives for a global consumer-goods enterprise, including an EU regulatory program covering 1,500+ products.
At Zorachka, I built procurement and international operations from scratch, connecting 20+ suppliers across engineering, manufacturing, certification, import/export, warehousing, distribution, and reverse logistics. I also replanned production and logistics during COVID disruptions and designed inventory flows for direct sales, Amazon FBA, and Apple-related distribution.
In software at iTechArt Group, I managed scope, budgets, schedules, risks, priorities, stakeholders, and team capacity. I moved a distributed team from Scrum to Kanban, reduced recurring meetings from five to two per week, and improved delivery visibility through redesigned Jira workflows and reporting.
Earlier, I reduced raw-material costs by 14% and logistics spend by 18% while managing production-critical procurement across 300+ suppliers. I bring practical process design, ERP business analysis, and cross-functional leadership to work that needs clearer ownership, stronger visibility, and dependable execution.
