But a supply chain can provide a true competitive advantage.” — Yossi Sheffi, MIT This belief has guided my career for more than 20 years. I’m a passionate Supply Chain Manager who sees SCM not as a cost factor, but as a strategic enabler of growth, resilience, and customer satisfaction. Today, I lead a small global supply chain team in a scale-up environment, building end-to-end processes that connect central and local warehouses worldwide. Earlier in my career, I managed global and regional supply chain operations in large FMCG and mid-sized companies, giving me experience across different scales and levels of maturity. My career spans both B2B models (serving retailers) and Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) environments, where products are shipped directly to end customers. This breadth gives me a unique perspective on supply chain complexity, from large pallet flows to last-mile parcel deliveries. My experience covers building resilience, improving service levels, and leveraging digital tools and scenario-based simulations to support data-driven decisions. What motivates me is creating supply chains that deliver customer satisfaction, resilience, and business growth while balancing cost and cash flow. I thrive in organizations that view supply chain as being on equal footing with Sales, Marketing, R&D, and Finance — because that’s where SCM adds its full value.
