As a supply chain and inventory management leader, I have built my career supporting multiple global companies. I know how to plan, implement, and manage the supply chain for maximum business benefit (both in the short term and long term).I deliver results that exceed targets, through my honed leadership, communication, technical, and analytical skills, while successfully working with diverse cultures from around the world. My career is unique because even though I have worked with one company, there were particular roles in which I managed external client’s distribution networks (Caterpillar used to outsource their own logistics solution, a business in which I was a part).
