What I'm looking for

I am seeking supply chain, procurement, or operations roles where I can leverage materials planning, vendor coordination, and SAP MM skills to improve availability, reduce costs, and grow into broader responsibilities.

I am a results-driven supply chain professional with 2+ years of material planning experience at Caterpillar Inc., skilled in Material Requirements Planning (MRP), SAP MM, and EDI to improve material availability and production efficiency.

At Caterpillar I worked as global commodity planner for Asia Pacific, US, UK and Europe regions, managed end-to-end planning for 200+ parts, coordinated procurement across 50+ international vendors with a yearly spend coordination of $15 Mio, maintained >95% supplier delivery performance and sustained 80%+ safety stock levels while reducing audit review time by 20%.

I seek opportunities in Supply Chain, Procurement, or Operations where I can apply analytics, vendor coordination and continuous improvement; I bring strong communication, problem-solving and leadership from internships and campus roles.
