Purchasing Manager @ Aquarius Ltd

About

Obsessed with making supply chain smarter- currently working as a Purchasing Manager, managing procurement operations for apparel and accessories brands. My role involves end-to-end PO management — from order placement and vendor communication to production tracking and on-time delivery coordination. With a Master’s in Operations & Supply Chain Management and 5+ years of experience across warehousing, inventory, and purchasing, I bring both hands-on execution and strategic insight to supply chain operations. I regularly work with tools like Excel, SAP, SQL, and WMS to drive process efficiency, improve visibility, and make data-backed decisions. I’m passionate about using analytics to streamline procurement, enhance demand planning, and reduce supply chain risk. Always curious, always improving — and always looking for smarter ways to move things forward.
