Marwa Mansour

n my current role as production planning and inventory control manager at Al-Andalouse Pharmaceutical Industries, I have successfully implemented SAP-based MRP systems, improved planning accuracy, and developed strategic S&OP frameworks that reduced stock shortages and boosted customer satisfaction. My previous experience with global leaders such as GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), Global NAPI, USAID and Sphinx Glass equipped me with expertise in end-to-end forecasting processes, inventory optimization, and cross-border supply chain coordination across North Africa and the Middle East.

I hold a Doctorate of Business Administration (DBA) in Finance and Investment (in progress), alongside an MBA and a Higher Diploma in Economic Feasibility Studies from Cairo University. My academic background, combined with advanced proficiency in ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, AX Dynamics) and statistical software (EViews, SPSS, Minitab), enables me to combine analytical insight with practical, results-oriented solutions.

I am confident that my leadership skills, strategic mindset, and proven ability to deliver operational excellence make me a strong match for your team.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my background and expertise can contribute to the continued success.
