Supply chain and international logistics leader specializing in strategic procurement and digital optimization.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Supply Chain and Foreign Trade specialist with 20+ years of experience optimizing end-to-end operations across strategic procurement, international logistics, S&OP, and demand planning. I’ve led teams and large-scale purchasing and logistics activities, with a proven focus on cost reduction, KPI improvement, and data-driven decisions.
In my most recent role, I streamlined purchasing workflows with SAP MM automation, reduced procurement lead times significantly through supplier consolidation, and ensured strict customs compliance (CAUCA/RECAUCA, SAT Guatemala). I also drive digital transformation using tools like Power BI, MAGAYA, TMS, and WMS to improve performance, reduce operational risk, and strengthen supplier and 3PL execution.
