What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a strategy/analytics role where I can drive KPI-led planning, cost optimisation, and measurable commercial improvements—partnering with cross-functional teams to deliver end-to-end execution in fast-paced environments.

I’m a Strategy & Associate Consultant with 2+ years of experience turning business problems into measurable outcomes across technology, retail, and agro-export sectors. I deliver operational cost reductions, revenue protection, and process acceleration using data-driven strategy, cross-functional collaboration, and hands-on execution across UK, APAC, and MENA markets.

In my current role as a Supplier Experience Specialist at Currys PLC, I supported procurement-aligned cycles by helping B2B customers optimise purchasing decisions and meet stock requirements, improving order accuracy by 15%. I also analyse POS and CRM data to support procurement forecasting, sourcing timelines, and IT category planning—while ensuring compliance with commercial rollout calendars and merchandising standards.
