I’m a supply chain professional with 4+ years leading NPI and cross-functional initiatives across manufacturing hardware operations, focused on material/demand planning, forecasting, and measurable operational efficiency. I own end-to-end execution from concept through production handoff, building supply chain resilience through tight coordination.

At Stanley Black & Decker, I owned and launched 10+ NPI programs across multiple business units, coordinating weekly cross-functional syncs and daily standup notes to flag risks early and cut processing time from 5 days to 1. By creating dashboards and tracking KPIs like Past Due, E&O, and Air Freight, I helped save $9.6M in material planning and $1.2M in air freight cost.

I run clear-to-build (CTB) analysis to prevent shortages within lead time zones and escalate issues through weekly supplier calls. I manage risks, issues, and change control using a live RAID log—collecting owner input, negotiating tradeoffs, rebalancing resources, and recovering 18 days without slipping go-live milestones.

Earlier, as a Project Manager at Karma Automotive (Fisker Automotive), I used statistical modelling, trend analysis, and forecasting to evaluate performance and uncover cost-reduction opportunities. At UltraDenim LLC, I facilitated cross-functional meetings and executive readouts to communicate risks, assumptions, mitigation plans, and readiness KPIs—strengthening transparency and alignment at every milestone.
