As a motivated engineering professional with proven leadership skills, I have made lateral move into Supply Chain Management (SCM) to diversify into commercial roles. My experience in leading projects and teams, coupled with my technical expertise, positions me well for this transition.In this role, I aim to leverage my leadership abilities to drive team performance, foster a culture of continuous improvement, and contribute to strategic decision-making processes. I am excited about the opportunity to apply my skills in a new context, driving efficiency and productivity in SCM while broadening my commercial acumen. My goal is to not only contribute to cost optimization and strategic sourcing but also to inspire and lead the team toward achieving business objectives.
