About

Supply Chain Planning professional with 10+ years of experience across demand planning, S&OP, inventory optimization, and cross-functional supply chain coordination within international and regulated environments. Throughout my career, I have worked across pharmaceutical, healthcare, industrial, and consumer-oriented organizations, supporting planning processes across EMEA and collaborating closely with Commercial, Finance, Operations, and Supply Chain teams. My experience combines analytical problem-solving, stakeholder management, and business-oriented planning, with a strong focus on improving forecast accuracy, managing inventory risks, and supporting data-driven decision-making. Recently certified as APICS / ASCM CSCP, I am particularly interested in roles related to Supply Chain Planning, S&OP, Supply Planning, and Supply Network Operations within international environments.
