Breadfast
Supply & Demand Planner
Delivered 6× revenue growth within 4 months (May–Aug 2025), sustaining an average +50% MoM growth with peaks of +219% through demand driven forecasting, agile replenishment, and FP-level allocation across 70 SKUs × 48 fulfillment points.
Turned around early forecasting inaccuracy into a record-low waste milestone, driving an >85% reduction in daily waste levels and achieving the lowest waste/sold % in the category’s history since assumption of role.
Raised availability to an average of ~89% across August, with daily peaks exceeding 99%, while reducing leftover stock to ~5% of production —directly improving customer experience and safeguarding CM1 margin.
Outperformed sales targets in 67% of category-months (Apr–Jul 2025), with certain sub-categories exceeding plan by almost 2×, achieved by balancing SKU run-rates, promotions, and availability KPIs.
Built automated dashboards (Google Sheets + Apps Script) consolidating revenue growth, availability %, waste/sold %, and SKU/FP KPIs — reducing manual reporting by ~10 hours/week and equipping leadership with real-time insights. -
