Jeff Slatton is a Sr Director Integrated Planning, Supply Chain Optimization and Import Support at Walmart. He possess expertise in supply chain, inventory control, forecasting, cpfr, inventory management and 32 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I thoroughly enjoyed my time working with Jeff in our planning team where we served as the fulcrum to translate merchandising intent to supply chain impacts and strategy. Our day-to-day work consisted of bridging the gap between cross functional partners' perspectives and needs. One of the first things that I noticed when joining Jeff's team was the immediate respect and support from our partners across multiple orgs based upon Jeff's established history of leadership, excellence, and collaborative relationships. This was a brand-new role/function for the company and Jeff was a champion of enabling me to define the scope of how we were going to drive operational excellence. An example of this leadership style can best be described when we were facing a truly massive amount of inbound import storage compression with CNY that was resulting in projected 8 figure (USD$) D&D risks with over a quarter million pallets of inventory that our import network did not have space for. Jeff encouraged me to develop our mitigation strategy with a menu of options to ensure that I was able to consider options that the company had either not historically considered or had struggled with execution. With Jeff's leadership and cross functional relationships, we were able to successfully resolve this breach without negative impacts to our store operators while keeping resulting inventory imbalances at almost negligible levels. I firmly believe that Jeff's consultative approach with his team and measured fact-based decision making are paramount to his history of developing high performing teams. I would also consider it a privilege to work alongside him should our paths cross again in the future." and "I had the pleasure of working with Jeff Slatton during his time as Sr. Director Inventory Flow at Walmart.
