I optimise procurement, inventory and supply planning through data-driven insights.

At Chemetall, I manage supplier relationships, replenishment planning and inventory across European sites, using SAP, Excel and Power BI to protect supply continuity and customer service.

I automated delivery root-cause analysis across 15,700 rows, cutting review time by 70% and identifying £71.67k in cost-saving opportunities. I also reduced category A and B shortage rates from 30% to 5% and outperformed a €1.9M working-capital KPI by 5.1%.

Previously, I supported EY's supply chain risk work for a multinational brewer, analysing 79 risks from interviews with more than 20 stakeholders. At Nestlé, I managed high-volume procurement for packaging and POSM, delivered 10% savings versus the highest quote, and supported more than 20 product launches during a peak promotion period.

I'm a practical procurement and supply chain professional who turns complex operational data into clear, decision-ready action. I bring postgraduate training in procurement and supply chain management, native Mandarin and fluent English, and experience collaborating across suppliers, manufacturing, logistics, sales and stakeholders.
