Over 13 years of experience in supply chain management, procurement, project management, and global operations in the aerospace, defense, automotive, and tech industries with leading companies including Apple and Harley-Davidson.I am futuristic, which naturally gravitates me toward wanting to work with companies and on projects that are taking a risk to challenge what is generally accepted and outdated to achieve what was once believed to be impossible.Over the years, I have found that my desire to achieve and learn thrives best in cross-functional team environments where I can help bridge gaps, coordinate problem-solving, seek improvement opportunities, develop efficient processes, and lead to being on time, on budget, and to the highest quality possible.As a Production Director, I build quality relationships with the team, drive cross-functional collaboration, ensure alignment through clear communication, and get my hands dirty by lending a helping hand to remove blockers.As a Global Supply Manager, I focus on eliminating cost and waste, driving continuous process improvements to increase production, strategic contingency planning to mitigate risk and manage crises in the supply chain, and maintaining robust communication with internal stakeholders and suppliers to develop a more efficient culture.- Expertise in supplier relationship management, cost reduction strategies, new product introductions (NPI), and cross-functional team leadership.- Proven track record of driving results, including leading over $2.2 billion in cost reductions and avoidance.- Certified in CPIM and skilled in ERP systems (Epicor, SAP), Excel, and project management tools like Jira and Confluence._____________________________________________Myers-Briggs Personality Type: INTJ - "Architect" / "Mastermind" StrengthsFinder®​ ​ ​Signature Themes​: ​ Achiever - Learner ­- Futuristic -­ Competition ­- Focus
