Kristin Plugge Email and Phone Number
I like to make things happen. What is better than progress and productivity? I wake up early with several to-do lists for various categories. I don’t enjoy talking about myself too much and I have found that the Clifton Strengths analysis has nailed down my themes so I’ll break it down for you.*Individualization - As a manager, I love to find out my people’s strengths, uniqueness and what makes them tick. Then I utilize these characteristics to my team’s advantage!*Analytical - Show me the data! Data has no agenda. I like the facts to back up decisions.*Responsibility - Did I mention I was a doer? I feel emotionally bound to everything I do until it is complete.*Consistency - Balance and equality, this isn’t just relative to me but in the world in general.*Relator - tell me your stories, I like to hear how we connect in this world!As an accomplished Supply Chain leader with over 20 years experience in prestige beauty, I use these themes to find opportunities that I make into reality with my team. I have worked on several ERP implementations as the subject matter expert in Costing, Controlling, Pricing and Forecasting. Understanding the behind the scenes provides me with invaluable tools to troubleshoot, optimize as well as teach.I am constantly learning because I never settle. I am personally refining and driving myself to be better each day. I love being out in nature as it changes each day and provides the space to reset. Cooking is also a passion of mine that offers creativity along with expanding my horizons.My quest for learning and growing continues and I can’t wait to see where it leads!
