What I'm looking for

I seek a role leveraging forecasting and procurement expertise to optimize inventory, reduce waste, and strengthen vendor partnerships within a data-driven, collaborative supply chain team.

I am a seasoned supply chain and procurement professional with progressive experience in demand forecasting, inventory planning, and vendor management across retail and textile sectors. I have led SKU-level forecasting, seasonal planning, and supplier performance reviews that improved procurement negotiations and reduced waste.

My background includes senior roles managing purchase planning, procurement strategy, e‑commerce operations, and fabric sourcing. I combine analytical skills (advanced Excel, Power BI) with hands-on supply chain execution to align buying strategies with sales trends and improve inventory efficiency.
