Business Analyst · Supply Chain & Procurement
I've spent years in supply chain planning and procurement at AB InBev and Access Bank, and I hold an MRes in Computing where I built a machine-learning decision support framework for inventory replenishment. I connect how the business works with what the data and systems need to do.
How I designed a framework that predicts demand shocks and turns the predictions into a replenishment policy, then tested it against a static (s,S) baseline.
Mapping and improving how stock moves from production to distribution in a national brewing supply chain.
Defining requirements for a more controlled, auditable procurement process in a regulated bank.
Going from stakeholder questions to KPI definitions, data model and a Power BI dashboard design.
I've worked as a Raw Material Controller, Material Requirement Planner and Country Inventory Deployment Planner at AB InBev, and as a Procurement Officer at Access Bank Plc. In those roles I found I enjoyed the analytical side most: working out why a process fails, what people actually need, and what the numbers say.
I completed an MRes in Computing at the University of Bolton, with a dissertation on machine-learning-based decision support for inventory replenishment. I'm also studying for CIPS Level 4. I'm based in Greater Manchester and looking for Business Analyst roles where supply chain, procurement and data meet.
