I am a seasoned business professional with 25+ years of corporate leadership and resource management experience across multiple sectors. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for supply chain management, as well as for logistics and vendor relations, I have a verifiable history of contributing directly to company growth and expansion throughout my career. Professional focal points include sourcing, inventory management, forecasting, product development, quality management, strategic planning, trend analysis, logistics, merchandising, manufacturing, client and vendor relationship management, performance assessment, operations management, management development, technology solutions, international team management, and project management. Delivering superior administration on the latter areas of expertise requires utilization of effective communication skills, as well as negotiation, team building, budget management, and resource allocation expertise to support efficiency and maximum returns. Currently, I am the Senior Director Global Supply Chain Operations.

I drive strategic and scaled growth by implementing processes, tools, and analytics that are data driven. In addition, I liaise with C suite leadership, stakeholders, and suppliers, to ensure the company’s supply chain support structure is driving the business forward with minimal expenditures.Colleagues describe me as a progressive, driven, down-to-earth, analytical and managerial expert who can be relied on to offer superior solutions that deliver profitable results on time and under budget.
