• Supply Planning Optimization – Led HP Personal System’s new supply planning optimization engine
• COVID drove unprecedented supply and demand imbalances. In response, a mixed-integer goal program optimization engine was developed that allows HP to provide implementable supply plans to manufacturers.
• Generated innovative analytics that reveals high-impact opportunities for further constraint mitigation and demand shaping. The optimization engine is unique in the flexibility and speed with which it can be expanded.
• Developed multi-dimensional heat maps to visualize & communicate insights of billions of combinations of statistical measures resulting in efficient data discovery and decision trade-offs in an executive.
• Formulated a novel container routing algorithm delivering $1M+ savings / yr. while reducing congestion.

Member of the board of directors for the global leader in supply chain organizational transformation, innovation and leadership. As the largest non-profit association for supply chain, ASCM is an unbiased partner, connecting companies around the world to the newest thought leadership on all aspects of supply chain.

• Research Innovation and Sensing Committee
• Committee ensures ASCM comprehends emerging trends, technologies, and issues that will affect the practice of supply chain management in the future and drive thought leadership to all stakeholders.
• Co-hosted ASCM webinars: Top 10 Trends in SC for 2022 & SC Workplaces in a Post-Pandemic World

• Led the re-invention of how Sensing creates ASCM’s Top 10 Supply Chain trends report through a repeatable process. The report is a result of a seven-month process to identify the trends consisting of extensive.
• Presented Top 10 Supply Chain Trends to ASCM’s Corporate Advisory Board 2019 & 2020 meetings.
• The report has contributed to ASCM being a recognized as supply chain thought leader through extensive media coverage, including Forbes, as well help to shape the ASCM’s mission and strategic planning.
