About Victoria

I am Supply Chain Planning Manager with 15 years of international experience in FMCG (PepsiCo, Brown-Forman, Borjomi) and other sectors.

• Cut excess stock by 25% and improved turnover through automated procurement logic
• Maintained 99.5% fulfillment amid importer change and unstable production
