What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead cross-functional supply chain projects, apply data analytics to optimize networks, and drive measurable cost and service improvements in collaborative, growth-focused teams.

I am a data-driven supply chain professional and project manager with an engineering background, experienced in directing end-to-end supply chain planning, global sourcing, and logistics across EMEA. I lead cross-functional global teams, implement ERP and cloud analytics solutions, and apply Agile methodologies to deliver measurable improvements in inventory, cost, and service levels.

My recent work includes relocating a central distribution center, deploying Power BI dashboards that reduced blocked/obsolete stock by 37%, and restructuring distribution networks to cut transportation costs by 19% while improving delivery times. I consistently use tools like SAP S4/Hana, Google BigQuery, Power BI, and Jira to drive operational excellence and mitigate supply chain risks.
