Bilingual Supply Chain Professional | ERP Expert | Excel Specialist Originally from Miami, I relocated to Colombia at 20 but have continuously worked with U.S-based companies throughout my career.

Additionally, my experience with companies operating on a global scale has deepened my appreciation for the importance of robust procedures and checks and balances within the supply chain. Fluent in both English and Spanish, I bring over 8 years of advanced Excel expertise and years of experience working with ERP systems. For the past 7+ years, I’ve specialized in Supply Chain, gaining hands-on experience in navigating the complex challenges businesses face to remain competitive. Key accomplishments from my career include: •Acquisition Support: Analyzed over invoices totaling $21 million to determine payment responsibilities during a major acquisition. •Forecasting: Developed a 3-year natural gas consumption forecast for a steel mill, contributing to better resource management. •Logistics & Training: Designed and implemented logistics strategies, as well as employee training programs, to improve operational efficiency. •KPI Development: Created customized Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) based on specific business requirements, enabling better decision-making. •Vendor Negotiations: Led macro-level negotiations with vendors, optimizing contracts based on purchasing volume and overall spend. I’m passionate about leveraging data, technology, and strategic thinking to streamline operations and drive business growth. I’m always eager to connect with professionals and companies that value innovation and efficiency in their supply chain processes.
