• Develop dashboards and analytical tools using Oracle, S2K, Excel, and business intelligence platforms to improve business visibility.
• Coordinate cross-functional initiatives involving pricing, cost reduction, inventory optimization, reporting improvements, and new product introductions.
• Partner closely with Sales, Supply Chain, Operations, Finance, Customer Service, and Strategic Account Managers to drive informed business decisions.
• Present business performance, trends, and recommendations to senior leadership.
