Global inventory manager at Integra LifeSciences who built an 11-month forecast process achieving 97.1% accuracy.

At Integra LifeSciences, I own inventory strategy and decision-support systems for a $450M inventory base across 60,000 SKUs and 24 global sites. I partner with Manufacturing, Regulatory, Quality, and Commercial leaders on forecasting, regulatory distribution controls, and inventory decisions.

I developed Power BI applications for inventory entitlement and built tools that help Planning and Marketing teams document root causes and recommend actions. I also built a bottoms-up forecast process that achieved 97.1% accuracy on an 11-month horizon in 2024.

Earlier at Ingersoll Rand (Trane Manufacturing) and Barnes & Noble, Inc., I improved material planning and inventory processes. At Barnes & Noble, Inc., an enhanced EOQ program yielded a $60M inventory reduction within the first 3 months of rollout.
