I help manufacturing and trade leaders reduce waste, improve operational visibility, and free up valuable time by bringing clarity to processes, data, and costs. With 20+ years of experience across supply chain, manufacturing operations, ERP systems, and data-driven transformation, including roles at global companies. I work with mid-sized businesses in Europe and the US to turn complex operations into clear, actionable insights. My focus is on the intersection of operations, costing, and decision-ready data. I help leadership teams understand where money and time are being lost, and design practical improvements that deliver results within weeks, not months. What I typically deliver: - Automated and reliable data flows (no more fragile manual Excel updates) - Clear, tailored dashboards for margin, cost, and performance visibility - Cost and pricing logic that management can actually trust - ERP and system integrations to reduce errors, delays, and rework My approach usually starts with a fast, low-risk diagnostic to identify the biggest opportunities for improvement. From there, I support clients through focused implementation and ongoing optimization, often on a retainer basis. I work directly with founders, operators, and management teams who want fewer assumptions, clearer numbers, and better decisions. Languages: English (C2), French (C2), Romanian (native) Open to conversations with EU and North American companies
