As a seasoned supply chain and logistics professional with nearly two decades of experience across global operations, I bring a holistic view of the value stream—from strategic planning and production optimization to lean logistics and stakeholder engagement. Currently serving as Manager Planning PP Compound at Borealis AG, I lead strategic planning initiatives that align supply chain operations with business goals and customer needs.
