About

Experienced Supply Chain professional with a strong product consulting background, having worked with o9 Solutions for over three years. Currently deepening expertise in SCM at Michigan Ross to enhance the acquired industry knowledge. Looking to lead, always ready to learn. As a Senior Functional Consultant and Configuration Lead at o9 Solutions Inc, I collaborated with clients across various industries to identify and resolve supply chain constraints. My projects were centered around data analytics and digital transformations to streamline Demand Forecasting, S&OP, and Supply Chain Planning using Heuristic Supply Chain Solvers (SCS) and Linear Programming Optimization Solvers (LPS). I am now pursuing a Master's Degree in Supply Chain Management from the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business to delve deeper into Logistics, Manufacturing, Procurement, and Supply Chain Sustainability, building up a strong foundation to drive Strategic Leadership in the industry. Outside of work, I devoted two years to volunteering at Make a Difference, an NGO supporting vulnerable youth with education and care. I'm also passionate about soccer, chess, reading, and exploring developments in generative AI.
