Give me big data, and watch me do the magic! Seven years in data analysis of supply chain has exposed me to indefinite possibilities of data mining & reporting. As a finance graduate, I provide a strong financial perspective to every solution I work towards. I have experience working with real-time logistics data (inbound & outbound) and creating multiple dashboards for management. While working in logistics, I found my passion for the world of the supply chain, started my CIPS journey, and passed 5 out of 8 modules in level 4. Besides Data analysis, I have been responsible for the procurement process i.e. raising purchase requests, bid evaluation, negotiation & PR to PO conversion. Proudly known as Ms. Excel expert at my workplace, I have also worked with project management professionals to track their budgets, success rates & progress. Reach out to me if you are interested in a professional, hard-working & reliable team member!
