What I'm looking for

I seek a senior supply chain/operations role where I can lead process improvements, optimize costs, and manage cross-functional teams in an international environment.

I am a supply chain and logistics professional with over 15 years leading warehouse operations, transportation, procurement and international logistics for multinational companies. I have a strong academic foundation in operations management, finance and leadership, and I focus on continuous improvement and measurable results.

At Nestlé I led inventory management across distribution centers, external warehouses and 3PLs, delivering a 15% increase in export efficiency and 100% error-free shipments in 2023 while cutting external warehouse storage costs by 20%. At Huawei I managed end-to-end supply chain for telecom infrastructure projects, achieved 100% on-time delivery for a national project and reduced spare parts overstock to lower warehouse costs.

I bring proven experience in process optimization, procurement, supplier negotiation and team leadership, and I leverage tools such as SAP and Power BI to drive data-informed decisions. I am results-driven, collaborative and ready to contribute to operational excellence in a regional or global supply chain role.
