- Deliver “what-if” analyses to uncover synergies and guide smarter investments.
- Translate complex analysis into actionable insights for executives and stakeholders
- Network Optimization:

- Adaptable and resourceful, able to “zoom in” to analyst-level detail and “zoom out” to executive-level communication.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with expertise in scenario planning and optimization.
- Advanced Excel and modeling skills; familiarity with SQL, BI tools, or supply chain optimization software a plus.
- Excellent data management skills, with the ability to own and improve master data integrity
