Welcome to my profile!I have unexpectedly (but not surprisingly!) found my passion in the Supply Chain area, even though my background is in Nutrition & Dietetics. In my home country - Brazil - having a Dietitian managing end-to-end food & beverage production is very customary (even mandatory in some cases!). When I arrived overseas, I found out that for many countries that is not the case at all!Well, Supply Chain is the field! I was overjoyed to have the opportunity to broaden my knowledge by receiving my master’s degree from the MIT Global SCALE Network program!I have experience in Food Production Services Management and a strong focus on planning, inventory management on top of my existing nutritionist’s responsibilities such as nutritional, quality, and regulatory aspects, as well as cross-communication with different departments, suppliers and clients. Those Managing skills were sharpened during my role as teacher assistant in which I co-advised student’s capstones, oversaw the laboratory analysis as well as the use and purchasing of reagents and materials.I believe that analytical skills are a big part of a work life, but the cognitive aspects often times break the tie when the stakes are high in a corporation. It was very clearly highlighted during covid times! The empathy and communication skills I have developed as a healthcare professional, adaptability and flexibility gained during my expat life, added to my production procedure’s view shape me as someone who could go across any organization with intercultural openness that would connect a supply chain as a whole.Well, Different walks of life granted me different perspectives, made me get used to changes, to be okay with being uncomfortable, and experience the surprises life can offer!Let’s connect: thais.salgado.mendes@gmail.com
