My career has been filled with remarkable learning experiences, outstanding people and intriguing business challenges. While I could not have predicted my path, it has been an exceptional journey. My experience includes Customer Supply Chain & Finance, Sales & Portfolio Management, Category Management & Customer Accounts Receivable - In the US, Switzerland, France, Germany.Early on I thought manufacturing was THE heart of an organization. I have learned that any function can be the heart of the organization based on the impact of its people. Passionate people know their contributions make a difference. They are commited to and vested in the results. I am one of these people.WHY? The power of asking a question has brought richness and depth to my business understanding. It is rewarding to quickly identify the root cause and implement a compelling, long-lasting improvement. Leveraging the interdependence among people, systems and processes takes a business to another level. I seek opportunities to make my business smarter, faster and more competitive.Being a trusted partner with those above me, below me, and next to me is key. People with different experiences, cultures and perspectives – the more varied the better – amplify my contributions. Creating links across cultures, collaborating inside and out, and building expertise creates a competitive advantage for the business and me. I plant “seeds” of knowledge and watch them grow.Colleagues look to me to bring calm and order to chaos. I pride myself on making an innovative, logical, and compelling impact. I unite diverse perspectives to create exceptional stakeholder outcomes. My goal is to add value no matter the topic.
