Bachelor’s Degree in Finance, Actuarial Science, Supply Chain Management, Logistics, or a related field.
10-15 years of experience in warehouse distribution, network design, and supply chain optimization.
Strong financial and actuarial background, with experience in cost modeling and forecasting.
Minimum of 5 years in a senior managerial role, leading strategic warehouse or supply chain initiatives.
Proven expertise in network design, warehouse systems, and distribution optimization.
Experience with modern warehouse technologies, automation, and ERP systems.
Strong analytical, problem-solving, and leadership skills, with the ability to influence executive decision-making.
