What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role where I can drive end-to-end supply chain optimization, foster supplier partnerships, use data-driven planning, and deliver measurable cost and service improvements in a collaborative, growth-oriented company.

I am a results-driven supply chain and sourcing leader with over 15 years of cross-functional experience in planning, procurement, production, and global operations across the footwear and apparel industries. I specialize in building resilient, data-driven, and customer-aligned supply chains that enhance visibility, reduce cost, and deliver consistent performance.

Throughout my career, I have led factory operations to regional leadership roles, implementing S&OP, vendor scorecards, and data dashboards to drive real-time visibility and decision accuracy. I have delivered measurable results—reducing logistics cost by 18% and improving on-time performance to 93%—while managing multi-brand sourcing and capacity planning for VF, Wolverine, and Decathlon.

My leadership philosophy is Empathy + Visibility + Agility = Resilience. I focus on empowering teams, optimizing systems, and forging strategic supplier partnerships to align forecasts with actionable plans and achieve sustainable, cost-effective operations.
