Production & Capacity Planner at Essity using SAP IBP for planning across FMCG product lines.

At Essity, I manage short-, mid- and long-term production and capacity planning for multiple FMCG product lines, balancing service levels with manufacturing utilization and inventory. I also use SAP IBP as a planning HUB integration key user.

At AMAZON Logistics, I led a team supporting 500+ EU Last Mile warehouses across Europe. I delivered process improvements that increased team efficiency by 45%, and developed automated DBR/WBR reporting solutions that eliminated manual tasks.

At CCU Argentina, I worked on FMCG S&OP and production planning, stock management and the Piccadilly Project (AB Inbev - Budweiser) supply chain planning. I bring experience across supply chain planning, logistics, data analytics and operations excellence.
