I'm a passionate promoter of best practice supply chain and a global procurement professional, and my goal is simple: I want to work with teams of talented people solving interesting problems.I love what I do! I hustle to get products built on the factory floor, ship them globally, and assist getting finished goods in the hands of customers. I lead a team tasked with solving supply chain issues, forecast and plan factory production, procure materials, coordinate logistics, manage inventory, guide long term operations plans, execute commercial agreements, and actively seek opportunities to lower total cost of ownership and increase margins. I sit at the coalface directing operations for the Solar and Energy Management Group at Schneider Electric; it's here where we develop and manufacture efficient renewable energy products in the tech-energy landscape for commercial and residential applications.I have worked in Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia, and enjoy developing sustainable procurement and supply chain processes, demand planning, commercial negotiations and contract development, category management and materials management.
