About Viorel Zoran
I help manufacturing, supply chain, and operations teams get clarity from their data.
I fix unreliable reporting, automate manual workflows, and build dashboards that actually stay current.
With 20+ years across Unilever, Avery Dennison, 3M, and HP, I understand how operations really work. Not just the tools, but the business context behind the data. I have supported SAP implementations, migrated Excel processes to Anaplan, and built Power BI reporting across multiple divisions.
What I typically deliver:
- Power BI and Looker Studio dashboards connected to live ERP or spreadsheet data
- Google Sheets and Excel systems rebuilt to be reliable and maintainable
- Repetitive reporting workflows automated with Python or Google Apps Script
- ERP data exports cleaned and structured into usable operational insight
I work directly with operations managers, CFOs, and founders. No layers, no junior handoffs.
You get the senior person throughout.
Available for short diagnostic projects, fixed-scope deliverables, and ongoing fractional support.
English, French, and Romanian fluent.
