Sixteen years running the distance between a plan and a product on the shelf.
Buying, sourcing, inventory, operations, product launch — across industrial manufacturing,
consumer goods and regulated environments, in Europe and North America. 100+ SKUs a year, $15–25M of
audited inventory, five markets opened, teams of up to 20.
Five job titles, one habit: find where the operation leaks time, cash or compliance, design
the process that stops it, and leave it running without me.

Quality & process
ISO 9001:2015 certification led end to end, SOP standardisation across sites, change control, documentation and handover

Stock coverage & replenishment
A planning dashboard on an SAP S/4HANA data model. It reads material master, stock by status, open
purchase orders and goods movements, then answers the question a planner actually has on Monday morning:
what runs out before the next delivery lands — and is anything already on its way?
The distinction is the point. A material below its reorder point with no open PO needs a purchase
order. One with a PO arriving late needs a phone call. A dashboard that collapses the two into one red
light wastes the planner's morning.

Asset tracking on an SAP Plant Maintenance and Logistics Execution model, for an operator that
installs, rents and services projection, sound and lighting equipment across film productions and cinema
venues. 640 serialised units, 124 venues, 8 depots, 4 workshops — every unit in exactly one of six
states: in use, free, allocated, in transit, in maintenance, broken.
The state alone is useless. In transit for three days is normal; for forty the unit is lost and
someone is paying for a dark screen. So every state carries a threshold, and the page ranks only what has
crossed it. The thresholds are a policy choice, and the page says so.
