What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a supply chain role where I can combine forecasting, inventory optimization, and GMP/GDP discipline with hands-on data work (SQL/Python/BI). I want cross-functional ownership, measurable impact, and continuous improvement culture.

I’m a supply chain specialist with 4 years in the pharmaceutical industry, focused on supply chain management across demand planning, inventory control, and process improvement. I bring deep experience in B2B distribution channels in Asia and strong knowledge of GMP and GDP standards, with a consistent drive to turn data into decisions that keep supply reliable.

Most recently, I supported new project launches by forecasting market demand, planning required raw materials, and coordinating orders from Rotterdam. Before that, I managed 18-month rolling forecasts for 48 SKUs across 3 factories with 85% accuracy, improving the ONC product forecast by 10% YoY while reducing plant capital cost; I also built Tableau/BI dashboards, developed Python-based data cleaning pipelines for 10+ clients, and created an independent CRM platform aligned with business needs and IT delivery.
