About Rachel Costa

I am a supply chain professional with over a decade of experience in supply chain planning and analytics within global healthcare organizations.

Some of my key career highlights include- Developing a SQL-based process across multiple organizational servers to generate a daily executive report tracking PPE inventory and sales during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic- Designing and implementing a weekly Sales & Operations Execution process to project quarterly revenue using multiple operational inputs- Building and deploying an Alteryx tool to forecast inventory requirements and projected inventory levels during the transition from domestic manufacturing to an international contract manufacturer While I specialize in developing analytical solutions using Excel and Alteryx, I am equally passionate about continuous improvement, solving complex operational challenges, and expanding my capabilities within the analytics and data space.
