What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can utilize my supply chain expertise to drive efficiency and contribute to strategic goals.

As a dedicated supply chain professional, I have a proven track record of optimizing operations and enhancing efficiency across various sectors, particularly in aerospace and technology. My experience spans over several years, where I have successfully managed complex projects, developed strategic plans, and implemented innovative solutions that drive business success.

At Duracell, I currently serve as an FTP IT Manager, where I collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate business needs into SAP system requirements. My accomplishments include successfully coordinating the go-live for SAP IBP demand planning, which significantly improved forecasting accuracy. Previously, I worked at Microsoft as a Supply Chain Planner III, where I standardized best practices and created official work instructions that enhanced operational efficiency.

Throughout my career, I have consistently focused on data analysis and logistics management, achieving significant cost reductions and improving service delivery. I am passionate about leveraging technology to streamline supply chain processes and am committed to continuous improvement and professional development.
