Vicente P.

Supply Chain & eCommerce Operations Consultant specializing in DTC and marketplace brands on Shopify, Amazon, TikTok Shop, Walmart, and other sales channels. I help product-based businesses stay in stock, run operations smoothly, and scale confidently — without tying up unnecessary cash or losing control of moving parts. Over the past 5+ years I've supported eCommerce brands across fashion, apparel, cosmetics, smartwatches, food products, and health & wellness — managing everything from demand forecasting and inventory planning to supplier negotiations, 3PL coordination, freight management, and day-to-day operational support. I work directly with founders and brand owners as their operational right hand, keeping communication clear and execution tight across suppliers, warehouses, and internal teams. Before working remote, I held senior Supply Chain roles at Givaudan (global flavors & fragrances leader) and Cremer S.A. (one of Brazil's largest healthcare manufacturers), managing S&OP cycles, regional supply planning across Latin America, and teams of planners.
