About Brian Hunter

Bringing a Sense of Confidence in the Achievement of Business KPIAs the unprecedented events of 2020 and 2021 continue to add a new dimension to the importance of capturing supply chain efficiencies, global procurement continues to have a more refined approach as countries reopen amidst continued levels of uncertainty.As I have done over my Global Food and Beverage, Paper Products, Sports Goods, and Textiles career, I continue to give my constituents a sense of confidence despite supply chain uncertainties. I leverage analytics and segmentation to diversify vendors by business need, value, and product line while ensuring no single source. With this, I mitigate risks and optimize procurement efforts.I partner with VPs of Manufacturing to plan for and attain business objectives, goals, strategies, initiatives, and metrics. I ensure that suppliers meet set KPI while partnering with business leaders on strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats analysis. I partner with finance teams to ensure supplier financial health through credit monitoring and related activities.Furthermore, I collaborate with TCCC and bottler stakeholders across different platforms on demand planning and optimization, while taking crucial steps to make needed changes for what is coming. In addition to leveraging Procurement and Supply Chain Rigor, I leverage analytics, technology, and digitization to provide accurate data and forecasting to inform business decisions.Equipment and Package Material Procurement and Proficiency in software products including Ariba, SAP, JDE, Neterprise, KO Buy/ERP SRM, Microsoft Office Suite including Access, Excel, Word, and PowerPoint, Project Management, SAP Business Object, SQL, Tableau, Power BI.
