I love learning and teaching, from tying knots, surfing, or training someone how to utilize a dashboard; it rejuvenates the mind and body. Possibly my favorite facet of teaching is never knowing how people will adapt. After teaching my left-handed son how to do so many things and calling my left-handed father for help; I have learned to always ask, “what is your strong hand”, before coaching. How the world changes when missing pieces of information are understood. People are incredibly capable of achieving more than they understand and many times it is just asking the right questions to fill in gaps of understanding. Data is a fantastic opportunity to set up a classroom. It is hard to argue with numbers. It is amazing when data illuminate stories that are relevant to our struggles at work and sheds light on directions for change. Even the most stubborn and dogmatic must open their minds when source data is displayed in compelling fashion. That is my career goal, leading human innovation through accurate data representation. AI is no fun without human touch points, and our interaction with powerful processing provides freedom to make change. Change that lasts for tomorrow and makes an impact for today. Off to the races, below is my current story as told by AI and it did a rather nice job. With over a decade of experience in strategic sourcing and commodity management across multiple industries, I am enthusiastic about driving efficiency, fostering ownership, and resolving supply chain misalignments through innovative and practical approaches. My journey spans significant roles in life sciences, electric vehicles, automotive, and construction industries, where I have consistently delivered value positions, enhanced supplier performance, and implemented strategic initiatives that drive organizational success.
