About

Professional summary

I am a senior commercial, administration, operations, and supply chain professional with around 23 years of experience driving business growth, profitability, cost optimization, and operational efficiency across automotive, mining exports, logistics, food, consumer goods, electronics, and IT sectors.

I specialize in commercial management, contract negotiation, procurement, vendor management, budgeting, forecasting, inventory control, warehouse operations, logistics, and distribution. I have led end-to-end commercial and supply chain operations while coordinating effectively with finance, operations, legal, procurement, and logistics teams.

I have successfully negotiated high-value contracts with suppliers, transporters, and 3PL partners. My work has contributed to operational cost reductions of up to 20%, improved pricing strategies, optimized safety stock, better forecast accuracy, and lower inventory holding costs.

I bring strong financial acumen and experience preparing commercial budgets, revenue forecasts, expenditure reviews, financial analyses, MIS reports, and cost-control plans. I am comfortable using data and market insights to support commercial decisions and improve profitability.

I have managed large-scale warehouse, inventory, transportation, and material movement operations, including high-volume product dispatches and seasonal demand challenges. I focus on maintaining compliance, service levels, timely material availability, and efficient resource utilization.

I am an adaptable people and operations leader with experience managing cross-functional teams, developing policies and SOPs, strengthening vendor relationships, and resolving operational challenges in fast-paced business environments.
