What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth, innovation, and operational excellence in a collaborative environment.

With over 17 years of experience in production management, I have honed my skills in food production, team leadership, and operations management within the FMCG and service industries. My career is marked by a commitment to driving efficiency through lean manufacturing principles and a deep understanding of compliance standards such as BRC and GMP. I have successfully led diverse teams of 20-30 members, ensuring operational excellence while achieving production targets.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong ability to manage large-scale projects, including a €700k automation initiative that significantly improved production capabilities. My proficiency in ERP systems and data analytics, including tools like Python, SQL, and Tableau, has enabled me to optimize processes and enhance decision-making. I am particularly proud of my achievements in expanding product reach to international markets, notably launching products in the US through Amazon, which tripled revenue for my previous employer.
