I am a product supply professional with a strong record of accomplishments in operations, contract manufacturing, procurement, planning, and systems integration. A passion for developing supply networks that enable expansion through innovation commercialization or organic volume growth. My broad experience allows me to tie procurement, engineering, quality, and operations disciplines together into holistic supply solutions to deliver new to the world products, capacity increases, and minimized costs. While accomplished at weaving internal and external supply solutions together into a cohesive and optimized network, I particularly thrive in developing contract manufacturing supply solutions. I have developed solutions for new product launches where speed to market and low cost of entry are at a premium as well as higher investment, longer term solutions supporting internal capital avoidance and core competency strategies. Excellent supplier relationship management skills allow me to create ongoing value from existing operations, whether that be enhancing productivity, business processes, or simply creating documentation for smooth transactional activities. I derive great satisfaction from removing extraneous steps in a process or automating activities to drive value. Core Competencies: Supply Strategy Development, Strategic Sourcing, Negotiation & Contracting, Operations Management & Improvement, Process Development & Documentation, Systems Integration, People Management
