Associate Product Manager, Data Platform & Supply Chain Analytics
- Owned the product roadmap for BrewDat, AB InBev's enterprise data platform, and led a team of 5 data engineers, prioritising delivery against competing operations and procurement demands across 6 zones and 44 countries
- Shipped the global Variable Input Cost benchmarking platform covering ~$20B of annual production spend, bringing 6 fragmented sources into one SKU-Plant-Material dataset so operations could benchmark plant cost across geographies and procurement could isolate material-level abnormalities to manage supplier mix
- Onboarded 3,000+ standardised supply chain KPIs and grew usage to 2,000+ users, from plant analysts to the Chief Supply Officer, letting sites see whether a cost gap sat in labour, energy, water or material losses and benchmark against better performers
- Lifted production cost data quality from 72% to 99% in a year through a country-level monitoring dashboard that zone VPs took on as a tracked target, driving adoption of the benchmarking dataset
- Piloted LLM-based natural language access to the data lake so supply chain VPs could query harmonised cost data themselves, possible only because of the governed semantic layer built across ~200 analytics assets

- Consolidated P&L data across 4 zones and ~35 countries into Mix Drivers dashboards computing variance at brand × pack type × pack size × country, splitting cost movement between sales mix and plant performance and cutting time-to-analysis by ~90%
- Drove ERP-to-reporting automation (SCFD to Anaplan) across all 6 zones, cutting manual monthly reporting effort by ~90% across 47 countries and 200+ breweries; scoped the Africa rollout on site in South Africa with planners, IT and SAP teams
- Built a profitability model pairing production cost (VIC/HL) with net revenue (NR/HL) for Mexico and Colombia, surfacing SKU-level margin outliers and quantifying the dollar impact of individual SKUs against country averages
- Migrated 125+ legacy SQL assets onto the cloud data platform and built a Databricks POC framework that cut proof-of-concept timelines by ~75–90%, letting ideas be tested before committing to full build
