Dec. 2019 - Dec. 2022Bogotá, Distrito Capital, ColombiaDuring my tenure at Anheuser-Busch InBev, I took the reins as the Middle Americas Supply Chain & Logistics D&D Director. My role was all about orchestrating brilliant strategies to make our supply chain and logistics operations lean, mean, and optimized for maximum efficiency.

Innovation was the name of the game, focusing on streamlining processes, boosting throughput, and ironing out bottlenecks. Here are some highlights from my journey:
• Crafted and executed a forward-thinking Tech strategy, turbocharging supply chain management functions across 50+ Breweries and 350+ Distribution Centers spread across 14 countries.
• Steered a dynamic team of 200+ operators in a Transportation Control Tower, where we embraced advanced technology and data-driven decision-making to supercharge productivity, enhance security, and ensure safety for our invaluable drivers and customers.
• Led the charge in digitizing breweries through the implementation of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), predictive maintenance, image recognition, and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES).
• Pioneered the transformation of manual tasks into growth catalysts, putting a spotlight on product traceability and quality assurance.
• Advocated for and enforced a robust cybersecurity strategy, integrating cutting-edge connectivity technologies as pivotal enablers for our ongoing Digital Transformation initiative.
At the heart of it all, my goal was to not just manage operations but to elevate them to a level of excellence, where technology, collaboration, and innovation were the driving forces behind every success.
