For supply chain job seekers · Online

Get ready for supply chain roles on your real experience.

I'm a demand planner in Dubai. I coach people moving into supply chain, or up within it, for demand planning, S&OP (sales and operations planning), inventory, procurement and analyst roles: a resume and LinkedIn that hold up in an interview, preparation for each specific interview, and the hands-on skills the job uses.

I started coaching in October 2026, and my first group is under way.

Who it's for

Career switchers

You come from IT, analytics, engineering or operations and want a planning or analyst role.

Early-career planners and analysts

You're in a supply chain job and want the next step: planner, senior analyst, S&OP.

Operations people moving into planning

Warehouse, logistics, purchasing or store experience, aiming for demand or inventory planning.

Candidates with an interview coming up

You need to understand one specific job, fast.

Services

Four ways to work together. Each one starts with a free 15-minute call.

Resume + LinkedIn rebuild

Your real experience, written the way supply chain hiring managers read it.

What you get

  • A line-by-line review against the roles you're targeting
  • A rewritten resume, one version per role family (for example demand planning, supply chain analyst, procurement)
  • An ATS check (the applicant tracking systems that screen resumes) against real job descriptions, using only keywords that are true for you
  • Your LinkedIn headline, About, Experience and Featured section rewritten to match the resume exactly
  • A short "defend every line" drill, so you can talk about each bullet for a minute in an interview

I only write what you can defend in an interview: no invented employers, titles, dates or numbers.

How it works

  1. Free 15-minute call

    Your target roles, your timeline, and where you stand today. If I'm not the right fit, I'll say so.

    Which services, what you'll get, and the schedule, agreed by email before we start.

    Live sessions, reviews and prep materials, all yours to keep.

  4. Interviews and after

How I work

Real experience only
Every line on your resume and every interview answer is built from what you've actually done, studied or built. I won't add employers, titles, dates or numbers you can't back up. They fall apart in the second follow-up question, and employers check.
Your details stay private
Your resume and personal details are never published. The samples on this site are fictional, or used with all personal details removed.
I coach; you perform
I don't sit interviews, take assessments or do your job for you, and I don't feed answers during a live interview.
You keep everything
Study pages, workbooks, question banks and recordings are yours.

Why work with me

I plan demand for a living, so I prepare people for the work as it's done day to day, not only as a textbook describes it.

Frequently asked questions

Can you guarantee me a job?

No. Nobody honestly can. What I can do is make sure your resume is credible, you understand the job you're interviewing for, and you can explain your own experience clearly.

I have no supply chain experience. Can you still help?

Yes. Many people moving in already have related experience, such as data work, reporting, operations or purchasing. We present that honestly and add a real portfolio project to show the planning skills.

Which roles do you prepare people for?

Demand planner, supply planner, inventory planner or analyst, S&OP analyst, supply chain analyst and procurement analyst.

Which countries?

Sessions are online. My materials are built for US and Gulf job markets; if you're targeting another market, tell me on the call.

How are sessions run?

Live and online; we confirm the platform on the call. Prep materials are shared as web pages, Excel files and notes you keep.

Will you write my resume with more experience than I have?

No. See "How I work". It's also the fastest way to fail an interview.

What does it cost?

It depends on what you need and your timeline. We'll go through options on the free call.

Have an interview coming up, or a resume that isn't getting calls?

Send me your target role and your current resume, and we'll set up a free 15-minute call.
