Career Objective: Obtain a position in the retail industry that allows me to leverage my experience in Planning, Buying, and Merchandising to its fullest potential.

Proficient in planning, merchandising, and buying a diverse range of products for the MENA Region, utilizing advanced Merchandise Financial Planning technologies such as Optimiza, SAP, Oracle, and Business Intelligent Reporting tools. Specialized in Merchandise Planning, Buying, Inventory Management, Vendor Management, and Supply Chain Management.

Unfortunately, due to the current economic downturn, the company I was previously employed with experienced a decline in business performance, resulting in widespread layoffs, including myself.
