What I'm looking for

I seek a role in a collaborative environment that values communication and innovation, offering opportunities for professional growth.

I am an ambitious professional with a Master's degree in Linguistics from the University of Warsaw, specializing in Polish, German, and English. My passion for languages and communication drives my career, where I have successfully applied my skills in various roles within Shell Business Operations. Currently, I serve as a Logistics Performance Manager, overseeing financial controls and managing vendor relationships in the EMEA Logistics space.

Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to lead teams and manage complex projects. My experience includes roles such as Senior Product Scheduler and Operations Support Analyst, where I honed my skills in procurement, performance measurement, and continuous improvement. I take pride in my achievements, including leading money-saving projects and implementing new materials for production, which have significantly contributed to operational efficiency.

With a strong foundation in both linguistics and logistics, I am eager to leverage my expertise in a dynamic environment that values communication and innovation. I am committed to continuous learning and professional growth, and I thrive in collaborative settings where I can contribute to team success.
