Strategic vice president of supply chain driving cost savings, supplier performance, and operational scalability.
What I'm looking for
I am a global supply chain leader with deep experience in industrial manufacturing, aerospace, and medical devices, known for delivering cost savings and improving supplier performance across large, regulated programs.
I have led organizations of 150–500+ professionals and managed $600M–$1.8B in annual spend across multi‑site, multi‑country operations, deploying supplier risk management, strategic sourcing, and KPI‑driven performance programs.
My accomplishments include delivering tens of millions in annualized cost reductions, improving supplier on‑time delivery from as low as 48% to as high as 96%, and negotiating long‑term agreements that yielded significant direct savings for major programs.
I partner closely with engineering, program management, finance, and operations to stabilize production, optimize material flow, and support long‑term program scalability while building high‑performance teams and governance across procurement, quality, and materials functions.
