Supply Chain Manager @ Adecoagro

About

With over 12 years of experience leading Supply Chain teams in the Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) industry, including renowned companies like Kimberly-Clark and Adecoagro. I drive business results by improving customer service levels, reducing stockouts, enhancing production line efficiency, and lowering working capital. My expertise spans across planning processes, MPS, procurement, raw material purchasing, MRP, forecasting, S&OP, inventory management, distribution centers and 3PL operations, customer service, and CPFR. I have built Supply Chain functions from the ground up and led transformation projects, implemented forecasting and S&OP processes, innovated in product and e-Commerce development, and optimized operations to reduce costs. My background as an Industrial Engineer, combined with an Executive MBA, has given me a strategic and holistic view of the supply chain and the business as a whole. I have also developed strong skills in Leadership, Negotiation, Change Management, Strategic Planning, and Continuous Improvement. Proficient in technologies such as SAP (R3 and APO), Oracle, and Power BI, I integrate advanced digital solutions into supply chain management. I am committed to innovation and continuous improvement, always seeking new opportunities to apply my experience and knowledge to projects that drive sustainable and impactful results.
