Supply chain risk and governance manager at Eaton who developed a global cyber incident framework and supplier risk platform.

United States

Message

At Eaton, I integrated cyber and third-party risk assessments into supplier sourcing and onboarding, and developed an enterprise supply chain cyber incident management framework.

I also led standardized business continuity planning for critical manufacturing and supply chain operations, and directed implementation of a centralized supplier onboarding and governance platform.

From 2019 to 2023, I implemented a cloud-based supply chain risk intelligence platform and built automated Power BI supplier performance and risk scorecards for global leadership teams. I led a global center of excellence with four managers and more than 15 analysts.

Earlier at Eaton, I created risk monitoring methods for more than 200 critical suppliers and reduced supplier onboarding cycle time by 30%. My experience also includes supplier risk management, sourcing, finance, and reporting roles at Whirlpool Corp. and 3M Co.
