What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my supply chain expertise while contributing to a dynamic team focused on innovation and efficiency.

I am a dedicated purchasing and supply chain management professional with a strong background in logistics and operations. My recent experience as an Operations Associate Intern at Cyclecure in Belgium allowed me to hone my skills in order processing, inventory management, and customer support. I successfully managed invoicing and shipping processes while ensuring the smooth monitoring of assets across locations. My proactive approach led to improved stock availability and streamlined logistics with suppliers.

Previously, I worked as a Business Development Engineer, where I conducted market analysis and built relationships with prospective clients in the engineering services sector. My technical expertise in engineering tools enabled me to provide tailored consultancy solutions. I also have experience as a Project Engineer, where I designed and developed a vacuum dryer, showcasing my ability to manage projects from conception to execution.
