At Luxfer Magtech, I lead end-to-end supply chain operations for manufacturing, government contracts, and commercial customers. I balance customer demand with material availability, production capacity, labor resources, and inventory strategy through Integrated Business Planning.

I manage $15 million in inventory across approximately 1,300 SKUs, oversee purchasing and logistics, and negotiate with domestic and international suppliers. Across my career, I’ve delivered more than $6 million in documented supply chain savings and earned an additional performance bonus for leadership on an Epicor Kinetic ERP implementation.

I’ve also led operations at NPW, Total Quality Logistics, and Corporate Express, improving forecasting, fulfillment, inventory turns, supplier relationships, and purchasing controls. I bring practical experience with ITAR-controlled products, hazardous-material exports, VMI, government contracts, and cross-functional teams.
