Christopher McMillan
@christophermcmillan
Global supply chain executive transforming planning, procurement, and logistics into resilient performance.
What I'm looking for
I’m a global supply chain executive with 22 years directing end-to-end planning, procurement, and logistics operations across a 48-nation coalition and 19 international locations for the U.S. Marine Corps and NATO/ISAF, plus 3 years of full P&L ownership in private enterprise. I build resilient, cost-efficient industrial supply networks while leading distributed teams against demanding cost and service targets.
I bring hands-on Oracle GCSS-MC ERP expertise across procurement, inventory, and financial management, and I’m a Six Sigma Black Belt focused on data-driven continuous improvement using DMAIC-based root-cause analysis. I’ve strengthened operational readiness—standardizing SOPs and running performance-management disciplines underlying formal S&OP—while sustaining zero safety incidents across high-consequence, multi-nation logistics operations.
In my current role as Owner / Operator, I grew annual revenue 250% by expanding service offerings and entering two new markets, increased operating margin 38 points through cost-out and vendor renegotiation, and improved client retention to 96% by redesigning workflows, scheduling, and customer communication. Earlier, I directed multi-site fuel procurement and distribution across 19 international locations supporting 150,000+ personnel, and I’ve also built talent pipelines mentoring 12 personnel into follow-on supply chain and operations leadership roles.
