As a procurement, supply chain and logistics expert, I thrive on challenges. Whether it’s navigating the complexities of the electronics sector during Covid-19 pandemic or leveraging data analytics and planning to proactively slash delivery times and procurement costs, I’m always pushing the boundaries of what is possible, to deliver the value to the customers.
With an MBA in Logistics and Transportation and a commitment to lifelong learning, I stay ahead of the curve in my field. My expertise includes cost management, BOM management, continuous improvement, and supplier management. My leadership style is collaborative and inclusive, and I measure success through carefully selected KPIs.
But for me, it’s not just about the bottom line. I’m employing a holistic approach, and I’m dedicated to establishing ethical and environmentally friendly practices that deliver sustainability as well as profit.
If you’re looking for a top-performing professional with a track record of success in procurement, supply chain, and logistics management, let’s talk. I’m ready to bring my expertise and creativity to your organization.
Trust me to deliver.
