What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a senior supply chain or operations role where I can lead supplier relationships, optimize inventory and logistics, reduce costs, implement ISO-quality practices, and collaborate with international teams to drive measurable performance improvements.

I am a supply chain manager with over two decades of international experience leading sourcing, logistics, and operations across Europe, China and Africa. I have managed teams and cross-functional projects to deliver reliable, cost-effective supply flows.

I have a track record of reducing costs through vendor negotiation, improving forecasting accuracy, and optimizing inventory levels while implementing quality improvement strategies and supplier audits. I am experienced with ERP/MRP systems, SAP, SQL, ISO 9000 lead auditing, and lean/quality practices.

I am driven to align supply chain roadmaps with company goals, improve supplier performance, and deliver measurable operational improvements that support business growth.
