ABOUT ARMANDO RAMIREZ BARAJAS

I transform supply chain operations in high-growth startups and marketplaces across Latin America — taking them from chaotic early-stage logistics to scalable, data-driven operations.My track record speaks in numbers:→ 60% operating cost reduction (from 29% to 13%) in 9 months at Pandas, Colombia→ On-time delivery improvement from 70% to 96% at Tul, Mexico→ Operations scaled from a single city to 90% national coverage→ Out-of-stock reduction from 26% to 7% through AI-assisted predictive planning→ Teams of 50+ people managed across Colombia and MexicoWhat makes me different: I combine traditional supply chain expertise (ERP, WMS, TMS, S & OP, 3PL management) with hands-on AI and data tools. I build predictive models for demand forecasting, optimize routes with computational algorithms, design operational dashboards, and create automated reporting systems — not as theory, but as working tools deployed in real operations.Through Ramírez & Partners, I advise companies on supply chain transformation — helping businesses redesign their logistics operations, implement technology systems, and build operational control centers powered by data and AI. My clients span retail, marketplace, pharmaceutical distribution, and 3PL operations across Mexico.Previously, I spent 3.5 years at Tul (B2B marketplace) progressing through 5 roles from Logistics Planner to Head of Marketplace Operations across Colombia and Mexico, and led operations at Pandas where I took a quick commerce startup from a single city to 90% national coverage in under a year.My sweet spot: taking a supply chain that\'s running on spreadsheets and duct tape, and turning it into a measurable, scalable operation — fast.Core expertise: Supply Chain Strategy | S & OP | Demand Planning | Last Mile & Fulfillment | 3PL Management | Marketplace Operations | Cost-to-Serve Modeling | ERP/WMS/TMS Implementation | AI-Applied Logistics | Predictive Analytics | Route Optimization | Team Leadership (50+)| Startup Scaling | Operational Excellence | Change Management | Python | Data AnalyticsLet\'s connect if you\'re working on supply chain challenges in LATAM, building logistics tech, or scaling operations in high-growth environments.
