Background

About Steph Reeson

I am a creative, analytical and seasoned supply chain professional with over 20 years of proven commercial and business acumen. I specialise in optimising inventory management, demand forecasting, supply planning and driving operational efficiency. As a supply chain expert, I've been instrumental in forecasting activities for consumer electronics (CE) and managing the importation of FMCG fresh dairy products as well as forecasting high-volume turnover beverages for renowned brands such as Stella Artois and Becks Vier on a pan-European and global scale. Adept at building relations and collaborating across businesses, I have experience in using demand and supply planning tools such as Manugistics, SAP APO DP and Optimiza for efficient supply chain operations. Fluent in French and English, I bring a unique blend of skills to contribute to business success. My data-driven insights and simulation modelling has consistently contributed to operational excellence and strategic growth initiatives across diverse industries in every role I undertake. In my current position at Swann Communications, my expertise in demand planning and inventory management has been pivotal in shaping robust supply chains and tools to accompany the sales team in delivering accurate forecasts and streamlined inventory. Our team has successfully managed the importation of consumer electronics from Southeast Asia, integrating comprehensive promotional plans and consensus forecasts into our strategy. This has enabled us to maintain a seamless flow of 200 SKUs, meeting both direct and indirect account needs. My role extends to hosting cross-timezone S & OP meetings, a testament to our commitment to international collaboration. The development of OTB views and purchasing plans for the finance team reflects my dedication to precision and strategic planning. Leveraging tools like SAP APO DP and my bilingual capabilities, I am at the forefront of facilitating effective communication and system administration within our diverse, high-performing team.
