What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation and collaboration in supply chain management.

I am a Strategic Supply Chain Leader with over 15 years of experience in planning, procurement, inventory management, and manufacturing operations. My career has been marked by a proven track record in developing and executing multi-year supply chain strategies across various business units. I excel in ERP system implementations and cross-functional leadership, leveraging data analytics to drive operational excellence and cost efficiencies.

Currently, I serve as the ERP Business Lead at Simmons Foods, where I lead the implementation of Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain Planning and Procurement modules. My efforts have successfully delivered an enterprise-wide WMS project that improved inventory accuracy and fulfillment speed. I have also directed digital transformation initiatives for Pilot Plants, enhancing planning and procurement workflows.

Previously, as the Director of Supply Chain Strategy at Simmons Foods, I developed a 5-year strategic roadmap for Planning, Procurement, Warehousing, and Transportation across three business units. My collaborative approach with leadership has aligned supply chain operations with corporate growth objectives, and I have spearheaded performance initiatives that significantly improved delivery and efficiency KPIs.
