Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico
I am a strategic Supply Chain and Operations leader with over 15 years of experience driving efficiency, cost reduction, and revenue growth within the Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) industry. Throughout my career, I have successfully transitioned tactical procurement and master planning into overarching operational success, currently targeting new challenges as a Planning, Purchasing, or Program Manager. My approach is built on a unique educational foundation: holding an MBA alongside degrees in Industrial Engineering and Informatics allows me to tackle supply chain bottlenecks from both a business leadership and a technical systems perspective. I specialize in leading high-performing, cross-functional teams, navigating complex corporate vendor negotiations—including mitigating backorders, managing credit limit constraints, and preventing price increases—and designing data-driven forecasting models. Whether it is optimizing ERP systems (SAP, Oracle), building automated tools from scratch to reduce processing time, or securing critical electronic components for top-tier global clients, I am passionate about building resilient supply chains that directly support company growth.
