About

Analytical by training, practical by habit.

I improve supply chain planning with lean manufacturing, data-driven forecasting and better operating systems. Supplier partnerships I built led to a 20% boost in on-time deliveries and a 10% cost reduction.

I also train new team members in demand planning, because a team that shares knowledge plans better.

Outside work I'm a computer geek who researches AI and its impact on operations, and a runner who enjoys morning runs.

I like learning new things and meeting people across industries, so reach out if you'd like to talk.

Experience

Over a decade across supply chain, sourcing and marketing operations.
