Wilkister Mbaka

I’m a demand and inventory planning analyst with 3+ years running multi-market demand-and-supply planning across five African markets (Kenya, South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda). At M-KOPA Ltd, I own end-to-end stock distribution for the Kenya market in a pay-as-you-go, agent-led device-financing business—translating forecasts into weekly dispatch and allocation decisions to prevent stockouts at scale.

I combine hands-on operational planning with quantitative modelling in SQL, time-series methods, and statistical analysis. I integrate live inventory data with forecast projections, project Days-of-Stock to flag stockout risk, and guide production and replenishment decisions with S&OP/SIOP-style KPI tracking. I’ve also built frameworks for inventory ageing and worked with Sales and Business Operations to reduce aged inventory from 20% to below 10%, while sustaining zero stockouts through +27% monthly operational growth.
