Associate Product Manager, Data Platform & Supply Chain Analytics

  • Owned the BrewDat product roadmap and led a team of 5 data engineers, driving prioritization and stakeholder alignment across business teams; represented the platform at global workshops in South Africa and Brazil
  • Scaled the Global VIC Benchmarking Platform to unify ~$20B in annual production spend across 6 zones and 44 countries into a single SKU-Plant-Material dataset, cutting data discovery time by ~83%
  • Onboarded 3,000+ standardized supply chain KPIs serving 2,000+ users from plant analysts to Operations VPs and the Chief Supply Officer, enabling Actual-vs-Budget variance analysis across the network
  • Lifted production cost data quality from 72% to 99% in a year via a country-level monitoring dashboard, adopted as a tracked target by zone VPs to drive uptake of the VIC benchmarking dataset
  • Established governance across ~200 analytics assets - source lineage, naming standards, column definitions, business context and named data owners - making the data lake discoverable and trustworthy for business users and LLM-based query tools

Product Analyst, Data Platform & Supply Chain Analytics

  • Implemented ML-based master data standardization across 30,000+ SKUs, cutting brand-name variance from ~1,100 to ~400 and pack-type variants from ~135 to 10, enabling like-for-like cost benchmarking across global plants for the first time
  • Consolidated P&L datasets across 4 zones (~35 countries) into a unified analytics table and built Mix Drivers dashboards for Actual-vs-Budget analysis, reducing leadership discovery time by ~75% and time-to-analysis by ~90%
  • Designed and automated ERP-to-reporting pipelines on the BrewDat/Azure platform across Europe, Africa and APAC, harmonizing fragmented ERP landscapes that varied by zone and often by country, cutting manual monthly reporting effort by ~90%
  • Established a rapid POC framework on Databricks (cutting proof-of-concept timelines by ~75-90%) and used it to pilot LLM-based natural-language access to the data lake via Databricks Genie, letting supply chain VPs query harmonized cost and production data directly — viable only because of the standardized semantic layer built underneath
