What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a hands-on Supply Chain Manager role where I can bring strategic advisory perspective to demand planning, S&OP, inventory optimization, logistics, and operational execution.

I've led supply chain and operations across Johnson & Johnson Vision, Zimmer Biomet, Smith & Nephew, and advisory engagements for more than 20 companies. My work spans demand planning, S&OP, inventory optimization, logistics, procurement, and distribution network design.

At Johnson & Johnson Vision, I improved Perfect Order Rate to 95%+ and reduced regional stockouts by 25%; at Smith & Nephew, I improved forecast accuracy by 22% and reduced excess inventory by 15%. I'm now seeking a hands-on Supply Chain Manager role where I can apply strategic advisory perspective to operational execution.
