About

I've spent over eight years making sure supply chains don't surprise the people running them. That sounds simple. It isn't. It means owning the demand plan that commercial teams trust enough to actually order against. Running the S&OP that stops a finance meeting turning into a blame session. Catching the backorder before it becomes a customer call. Knowing exactly what stock is sitting where — and what it's costing — before someone senior asks. Most of my career has been spent supporting US and Canada operations from Hyderabad — working across time zones, keeping things tight without being in the room, and translating supply chain data into language that makes sense to people who aren't supply chain professionals. I've done this across Oracle, PeopleSoft, and SAP, with Power BI and SQL on top so the numbers are always visible and always trusted. At Clean Harbors I was a core part of the S&OP cycle for a multi-site North American network — demand review, supply planning, safety stock, vendor performance, OTIF tracking — for four and a half years. Improved forecast accuracy by 25%, cut excess inventory by 29%, improved OTIF by 20%, and led a $5M inventory redistribution that needed item-level data accuracy before a single unit could move. At SS Supply Chain Solutions I worked on the analytics side — building demand forecasting models with data science teams, designing client dashboards, and running deviation analysis to evaluate which forecasting approach performed better in practice. A forecast is only as good as the model behind it, and a model is only useful if someone can see clearly when it's going wrong. Currently at HCA Healthcare, working across planning analytics and supply chain reporting in a regulated, data-heavy environment. What I'm good at: demand planning and S&OP, inventory management, OTIF and backorder monitoring, vendor coordination, and building dashboards in Power BI and SQL that people actually open.
