About

Operational processes share varied platforms, across any verticals or industries - but executing E2E processes & maintaining OPIN (bottom-line) results remain static. I'm an avid believer in E2E supply chain excellence in any Global Chain links that defines remarkable Sales-Inventory-Operations-Planning (SIOP) thru-puts. Merge that passion with Global Logistics Operations & Trade Compliance (typically Export Controls Regimes) - that mix guarantees High Mix High Impact (HMHI) results. Historically, I have been a part of various great global senior leadership teams, but what excites me most is the opportunity to contribute operationally from my gained management experience with strategic thought leadership. Process transformations (LEAN & 6 Sigma) vide Kaizens / Gembas plus the mindset to achieve targeted Key Results Areas (KRAs); are the core primary objective drivers to attain the highest measurable VAS, especially driving NPIs &/or sales ideas. On a global level, my management hands-on experiences range from: - E2E supply chain & logistics' operations plus EDM & IDM sourcing / procurement activities - physical commodities hedging & complicated Merger & Acquisitions (M&As) operations set-up - inventory management with P&L exceeding US$Billions - high revolving stock-turns at accelerated fill-rates (ITO) Primary Key Results (KRA) Objective is: To optimize EBIT using Continuous Improvement Programs (CIPs) with a Value Analysis (VA) approach - increasing Operating Income (OPIN) & decrease Operating Expenditure (OPEX). Typical Specializations are: - SIOP P&L Management in Supply Chain Optimisation & Project / Inventory Management - Logistics, Multi-modal Transportation, Network Distribution Planning, & Warehousing / DC - Trade & Customs Compliance, & Export Controls Regulations
