𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐦𝐲 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 Back in 2012, I was interviewed by Logwin Magazine as Manager of Foreign Trade and Logistics at Dixie Toga (at the time, part of Bemis, one of the largest flexible packaging manufacturers in the Americas). The feature, "Designs as Long-Lasting Value," covered how we kept raw materials — polyethylene, aluminium foil — arriving on time from the US, Europe, Argentina, and China to supply Dixie Toga's 16 production plants across Brazil and Argentina. I spoke about how the constant risk of customs delays meant we needed specialists who truly understood our products and our needs — and how Logwin had been a strategic partner in that challenge since 2008. More than a decade later, that same principle still guides my work: understand the problem deeply before choosing the tool. Today, that logic is taking me from operational supply chain management into data science applied to demand forecasting — where the question isn't "what's the most sophisticated model?" but "what's the right model for this decision, and what does it cost to get that choice wrong?" 📎 Sharing the original magazine page as a record of this chapter of my career. 🇧🇷 Versão em português: https://lnkd.in/drptkm57 #SupplyChain #ForeignTrade #DataScience #DemandForecasting #CareerJourney
