About Candidate
To whom it may concern
Dear Sir/Madam,
I, Rukshitha Perera who has been working in the retail industry for nearly 7 years including fashion lifestyle and FMCG supermarkets sector. During the fashion lifestyle working environment, I procured garments for men’s private labeling and handled certain end products.
However, after I joined to FMCG sector and I was able to work in 2 different startup companies in Sri Lanka following Softlogic Supermarkets Pvt Ltd (GLOMARK) and Spar Sri Lanka Pvt Ltd which is a franchise brand from the Netherlands. Since the team was small we were able to get better exposure in terms of every area such as category management, basic principles of demand planning and supply chain, master data management, planogram development, store layout planning, adjacency planning, supplier and annual review, etc. Therefore, such experience will bring more value to your business and able to handle multiple projects at one time.
Looking forward to discussing further your future business plans and will be able to add more value to your business if I am the right candidate for you.
