  • Build flexible, dynamic financial models in Excel to simulate operational scenarios and risk assessments.
• Strategic KPI Reporting & Leadership Interaction
• • Drive operational reporting with minimal supervision, translating complex inventory metrics into actionable executive summary packages.
  • Collaborate across IT, Supply Chain, and Finance to ensure data integrity within ERP systems without relying solely on IT/BI technical execution.
