About

Built a sustainability department on $1K, cut raw material costs 12%, then decided I wanted to understand why supply chains break — not just fix them when they do.

Background: four years across Ericsson (network system operations, telecom B2B) and Rewa Polymers (Senior Engineer → Area Sales Manager → Founder of the Sustainability & Green Procurement function). At Ericsson Vietnam I drove 4G Net Promoter Score above 93% for VietnaMobile, including real-time crisis operations during the Tet Festival across three major cities, and built Power BI and Excel/VBA automation from scratch for network KPI reporting.

I also build automation workflows (Make.com, Google Apps Script, Power BI) — the same instinct that drove the KPI reporting system at Ericsson. Now at IE Business School treating an MBA cohort of 100+ classmates as a live systems and network-operations problem.

Targeting operations, supply chain, and procurement strategy roles across Europe and the GCC.
