What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead supply chain and production planning that improves efficiency, delivery performance, and inventory accuracy. I want a continuous-improvement culture where I can apply ERP, lean, and process discipline to strengthen operations and productivity.

I’m a Senior Supply Chain Manager at Commercial Auto Components SA, where I plan, implement, and monitor the overall supply chain strategy to maximize efficiency and productivity. With over 13 years of experience in manufacturing, production, and operations, I focus on improving manufacturing processes, solving problems, and enhancing delivery performance.

My expertise spans ERP systems, lean manufacturing, and continuous improvement—turning operational challenges into measurable accuracy and efficiency gains. I’ve led supply chain execution and production planning and control, managing inventory levels to minimize production risk while maximizing inventory turns, and I’m actively interested in roles where I can streamline end-to-end operations through strong process discipline.
