Inclusive Leadership and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging: Coaching, Consulting, Connecting.The Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting began in my neighborhood and set me on this journey. My actions and leadership inspired friends and community members to create the national non-profit Sandy Hook Promise.I couldn't afford the pay cut to lead the organization I started, so for over ten years, I worked on violence prevention projects on the side of my corporate jobs. I left my last job and decided it could be my last chance to pursue my passion for helping create a more just and equitable society. I hope you take a look and reach out to connect.

Since the morning of the Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting (which started in my neighborhood), I became active in violence prevention and initiated and co-founded a national non-profit on a volunteer basis.My journey in this space, combined with my tendency to seek out root causes of issues, has led me to learn about other communities and people's lived experiences different than my own. Digging deeper into the causes of some violence, and issues within public health in our society, I've come to understand and believe that systemic inequity plays a major role in each area.I decided that I needed to pursue what I've been so passionate about and working voluntarily on for almost ten years, to try to pivot my career towards improving our society so it is more just and equitable.I've invested in myself and was accepted into a workshop called "The Personal Work of Racial Justice" sponsored by the Pauli Murray Center in Durham, NC, as well as earned a Diversity and Inclusion for HR certificate from Cornell University.

SUCCESSFULLY MANAGED ACCELERATED CANADIAN SITE SAP IMPLEMENTATION PROJECTThe secondary site implementation was accelerated for a metals processor and distributor, causing overlapping project schedules, tasks and resource requirements across the primary site implementation effort. This required tight collaboration with the primary site Integration Manager and the project team to manage schedules, shared resources and to prioritize tasks across the overlapping implementations. Both rollouts went live on time and without disruption to the business.IMPROVED PERFORMANCE AND ACCELERATED BEST PRACTICES VIA SUPPLY CHAIN PROCESS IMPROVEMENTThe SVP of Integrated Supply Chain sought our help in defining and executing a strategy to improve supply chain performance. After analyzing a set of key performance indicators and data, proposed a scope and strategy to focus on critical needs in customer service, planning and delivery via systems, people, data and governance. Through improvements in business process adherence, systems and process training, and inventory management visibility, our pilot project improved available to promise (ATP) quantity/dates, on time, in full (OTIF) performance and visibility / long-term production planning and regional / global capacity utilization.IMPROVED CAPITAL PROJECT TRACKING AND GOVERNANCEThe SVP of Integrated Supply Chain needed help explaining to senior leadership, why gaps existed between planned and actual capital project savings for the coatings and chemicals manufacturing business unit. Started by learning their project-tracking tool via hands-on use, documentation, and interviewing site project managers. Identified and corrected issues in the process and re-trained site project managers to use the tool effectively. Training and governance transitioned to the client with planned and actual savings reflecting the reality of their projects. With the gaps closed, the SVP could focus on the progress of their capital projects.

SALES AND DISTRIBUTION TEAM LEAD – FULL LIFE CYCLE SAP IMPLEMENTATIONAs the only Sales and Distribution consultant, led the client team to a full life cycle implementation of the order to cash process while interfacing to a third party manifest system. Designed a complex pricing structure and commission calculation supporting a 1000+ person sales force and integrated to SAP’s Material Management, Production Planning and Execution, and Finance and Controlling modules. PROJECT MANAGER - FULL LIFE CYCLE SAP IMPLEMENTATION FOR SECONDARY MANUFACTURING SITEWith the main project site blueprint and design in hand, a technical colleague and I were responsible for converting a secondary manufacturing site’s processes and master data to SAP Materials Management and Production Planning & Execution modules. Re-engineered the production and procurement processes of materials and services from internal and external sources. Converted durations, work centers, bills of materials, routings, open production orders, and trained the plant on the new corporate-aligned SAP process, going live with the main site on time and within budget.SALES AND DISTRIBUTION TEAM LEAD – FULL LIFE CYCLE SAP IMPLEMENTATIONOur client was rolling out their global SAP template to three smaller business units whose products and processes differed from the parent company, presenting challenges to adhere to the global template and end-user resistance. Despite a warning about the potential consequences of using the template pricing procedure, it went live and decreased system performance, hampering customer service response times. Using baseline data in the testing environment, configured a new pricing procedure to prove out the increased system performance. The new pricing procedure moved to production and increased database performance by 22% and end user response time by 57%.Increased attention to the end users and quality training converted the resisters to champions of the solution.
