As an entrepreneurial business strategist, I not only own supply chain operations but also bring differentiated expertise in contract management and export control. My focus on engineering products is strategic, as I build supply chain processes from the ground up, pivot to remove bottlenecks, deliver repeatable export control systems and cadences, and uncover cost savings at every turn. As a leader, I am a firm believer that even the best business operations can be elevated.
