I am passionate about creating high-energy teams and positive work cultures that develop talent and drive outstanding business results. As a supply chain management executive, I have cultivated a decade-plus career at John Deere with focused expertise leading numerous supply management projects that have resulted in product line cost reduction, quality improvement, and increased profitability through pricing, sourcing, process changes, and engineering design changes. A large aspect of my supply chain leadership relies on identifying and prioritizing projects and resources that increase both profit and market share. As a result, I leverage my business acumen and value-add skills in predictive analytics to develop and deploy short and long-term business strategies that drive superior operational and financial performance. I thrive on forging strategic relationships at the highest level for both domestic and global suppliers, managing high-impact risk, developing and deploying mitigation strategies, and creating technology solutions that add quantifiable value to the business through robotic process automation, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.Consistently recognized for the positive attitude, spirit, and energy of the teams I lead, I am equally committed to tackling new challenges or undertaking complex projects and exceeding expectations that create big wins for the business. I appreciate the opportunity to connect with peers at John Deere as well as other supply chain management leaders.
