• Collected information from internal partners (marketing, product/package development, environment, and customer account teams), as well as bottlers and suppliers, to create a roadmap for the “Supply Chain of the Future”: this provides the flexibility to produce an ever-increasing number of different products required to grow volume. Used this roadmap to fill technology development pipeline required to transform the $60B supply chain across 200 countries. Presented the roadmap to franchise bottlers who agreed with the direction and prioritized the next developments. • Revolutionized beverage production by inventing technology that allows instantaneous flavor changes with no production interruption. (Patents pending: “Multiple Stream Filling System” US Patent #8,479,784 awarded July 9, 2013 , International Application PCT/US2008/054862 and “Aseptic Dosing System” Australia Patent # 2011224769, US Patent Application 20110214779 and “Methods of Creating Customized Beverage Products” Australia Patent # 2009212455, US Patent Application 20100030355, and International Application PCT/US2009/033065). • Identified a previously unknown industry food safety issue that potentially impacted $3B of company sales. Partnered with suppliers and competition to develop a solution that was retrofitted onto 500 filling lines around the world. • Identified CO2 leakage as a problem wasting $50M annually. Found a supplier offering a leak detection service that yielded a five-week payback for many of our 800 plants.

• Served as Glass Packaging Subject Matter Expert for technical performance of 45B consumer transactions in 175 countries. • Streamlined the glass package supply chain by developing bottles that are up to 50% stronger, 40% lighter, and 20% less expensive. This increased filling line efficiency, decreased distribution breakage, and lowered COGS. Lower price points opened new sales channels. • Persuaded markets to implement the new technology. After ten years of declining glass sales, the glass performance improvements led to two consecutive years of sales volume increases including 30M incremental cases of product sold in Mexico enabled by a 24% weight reduction.
