My leadership style blends analytical rigor with customer-centric thinking to build data-driven, collaborative cultures focused on delivering results.I began my career managing factory expansion and rightsizing initiatives for a global industrial manufacturer, then advised Fortune 500 companies on supply chain and operations strategy as a management consultant.
