What I'm looking for

I seek a data-driven supply chain or operations role where I can lead S&OP, optimise inventory and margins, deliver projects, and develop teams in a collaborative, growth-oriented company.

I am a supply planner and retail operations leader with extensive strategic and operational experience in the sporting goods industry across the UK and Spain. I combine a BSc in Industrial Design Engineering with practical expertise in S&OP, forecasting and inventory optimisation to deliver measurable results.

At Decathlon I have driven procurement, forecasting and pricing strategies that achieved over 95% availability, reduced asset rotation by 15%, cut forecast discrepancies below 20% and increased gross margin by 4.5%. I also led major store projects and relocations, managed P&L for multi‑million pound units, and coached teams to improve performance and retention.

I am passionate about using data-driven analysis, process improvement and people development to solve supply chain challenges and support commercial growth. I bring strong stakeholder management, project delivery (PRINCE2/PeopleCert/APM PFQ) and advanced skills in Excel, SAP and Tableau to every role.
