I led the Demand Planning, Purchasing, Contracts, and Strategic Sourcing teams to develop and implement an enterprise-wide supply chain strategy aligned with DISH's business objectives. I successfully established the Strategic Sourcing function, achieving $20M in annual cost savings and reducing working capital by $90M through the creation of SIOP/IBP processes and lean planning methods. I drove the transformation of the supply chain team from a tactical to a strategic function, introduced new systems and data analytics, and enhanced the employee experience through comprehensive training and engagement programs.► I achieved significant cost savings and avoidance, doubling from $10M in 2022 to $20M in 2023, with projections to reach $40M in 2024. ► By negotiating the consolidation of SaaS Observability Analytics applications, I reduced suppliers from 4 to 2, decreasing spend from $17M in 2023 to $7M in 2025, which resulted in a 60% reduction in spend and an expanded set of services. I initiated the S&OP process for the TV business, increasing forecast accuracy from 60% to over 90%, leading to a $70M (24%) inventory reduction in 12 months and an additional $60M decrease over the next 12 months, achieving a 45% inventory reduction over 2 years.► I also delivered inventory reductions in other business areas by implementing SIOP/IBP processes, including a 70% reduction in Smart Home Services (from $32M to $9M over 2 years) and a 42% reduction in mobile phones (from $190M to $110M over 12 months). ► Additionally, I championed employee leadership development, decreasing regrettable attrition from 29% in 2022 to 8% in 2024 by leveraging employee training, employee-led committees, and a formal employee mentorship program.

I simultaneously directed a team of 550 across Manufacturing, Manufacturing Engineering, Health and Safety, Quality, S&OP, Sourcing, Purchasing, Planning, Logistics, and Warehousing through a transformation to an agile factory, achieving significantly reduced lead times, higher inventory turns, lower costs, and increased output. I developed the Chipotle Model, which cut lead times for configurable products from 6 weeks to 5 days, enhancing customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.► I insourced assemblies previously outsourced in China and Mexico, driving nearly $10M in annual savings through manufacturing consolidation efforts. This enabled the further development of a lean supply chain and lead time stabilization. ►Additionally, I implemented new recruiting strategies and pay structures to boost workforce retention during the pandemic and strengthened supplier partnerships to ensure reliable deliveries and competitive pricing.

I oversaw Sourcing, Manufacturing Outsourcing, Distribution, and Purchasing functions across the US, Mexico, and China. I achieved major reductions in lead times and costs while improving on-time delivery from the low 80th to the high 90th percentile. I implemented lean demand-pull systems, resulting in significant inventory reductions and doubling inventory turns within 18 months. Despite inflationary pressures, I consistently met direct material cost savings targets of 4-5% of COGS annually.► I implemented Just-In-Time (JIT) programs, reducing raw material inventory to under 40 Days Sales of Inventory (DSI)—half the level from 2 years prior—and decreased finished goods inventory, achieving an overall reduction of 30-40% over 3 years. ►I also reduced customer lead times from 6-8 weeks to just 2 weeks for most products, including all top sellers, by implementing a build-to-order model. By using storytelling to drive a paradigm shift for the team, I was promoted to VP, Global Operations and Supply Chain.

RS Pro is the private label brand for Electrocomponents' distribution companies, RS in Europe and Asia, and Allied in the Americas.I restructured a team across the UK, Taiwan, and China while based in the UK, significantly enhancing fulfillment service levels from 88% to 96% on high-runner items and boosting sales growth from 7% to 12% within a year. I also reduced lead times from weeks to days by implementing local supplier stocking for goods manufactured in Asia.► I built a third-party logistics (3PL) free-trade zone warehouse in the UK, which increased fulfillment levels from 88% to 96% and accelerated annual sales growth for the RS Pro brand from 7% to 12% in less than a year. ► I leveraged the 3PL to reduce supplier lead times from 8-10 weeks to 2-3 days and enhanced forecasting and sales information sharing with suppliers to ensure timely inventory replenishment. ► Additionally, I improved web sales by implementing a process for suppliers to upload their content and creating an online content scorecard, significantly enhancing the quantity and quality of information displayed on the Electrocomponents website.

I advanced through roles of increasing responsibility and scope, eventually establishing and leading a new Global Procurement team.

I also oversaw the project management of implementing new global Oracle ERP systems and associated supply chain tools.► I built a new global design and launched a global ERP system across all 3 EU divisions within 3 years. This consolidation of regional inventories into a central warehouse in the Netherlands created a shared inventory pool and led to approximately a 20% reduction in slow-moving inventory. ►I also centralized procurement teams into a single team in Germany, with limited local support in the UK and Italy, achieving about a 30% staffing reduction over 2 years, despite the challenging employment reduction regulations in various EU countries.
