Selected experience
–Founded and scaled the Integrated Business Planning department at a major agricultural and food production group, covering six business directions across Ukraine and the Balkans (Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia). Built all IBP tools, processes, and governance frameworks from scratch, then rolled them out across subsidiaries to create a unified Group-wide IBP and S&OE framework connecting monthly, weekly, and daily decision cycles.
– Orchestrated the integration of SAP IBP with SAP S/4 ERP, linking financial, demand, and supply planning into a single coherent system. Delivered customer service level improvements of 10–30% (reaching 97%), reduced packaging material inventory by 30%, and drove overall inventory reductions of up to 50% depending on the market — all while maintaining production plan adherence and meeting market demand.
– Prior to the IBP role, led a three-year transformation of the FP&A department into an IBP-enabled function, integrating finance with demand, supply, and production planning. Introduced a 12-month rolling forecast tool, reoriented core FP&A processes toward cross-functional planning spanning finance, supply chain, product, and marketing, and transformed the S&OE team into a customer-centric execution unit focused on responsiveness and alignment with strategic goals.
– Delivered sustainable alignment of finance and operations, materially improving forecast accuracy and reducing reporting turnaround time for Board-level stakeholders. Contributed to revenue growth exceeding $20M annually through a high-value poultry sales strategy on a base of over $2B in exports to 80 countries.
