About

I am a supply chain professional with expertise in international trade and logistics infrastructure, working in close integration with production planning processes.

Throughout my career, I have held roles in logistics, warehouse management, production planning, and material requirements planning (MRP). I have managed operational processes using a data-driven approach, optimized resource utilization, and established structures that support business continuity. My leadership approach is centered on producing sustainable results through team management, process improvement, and performance tracking.
