As an enthusiastic and energetic global supply chain professional focused in manufacturing operations, I've had the privilege of positively impacting supply chain operations in various global and Fortune 500 companies throughout my career so far. I am passionate about driving for financial results to the bottom line through material cost reductions, supply spend leveraging, inventory reductions and effectiveness. I am known as a highly motivated professional and an authentic leader. I offer well versed, hands-on experience in leading supply chain teams for productive benefits in negotiations, strategic sourcing, supplier relationship management, planning, procurement, inventory control, supplier quality, and logistics operations. Managing complex supply chains and bringing new solutions to existing practices for process improvement, risk mitigations, streamlining, and increased efficiencies, are what I do best. I consider myself an integral and fully accountable business partner to internal operations, executive teams as well as with all supply sources bringing excellent supply chain acumen and solutions to organizations.Thoroughly loving what I do for a living, I also enjoy downtime with personal interests that include hiking, cross-country skiing, camping, traveling, family time, and learning to cook (something that has alluded me for many years!).I look forward to new supply chain experiences and opportunities. Thank you for reaching out to me should you choose.
