About
I’m a dynamic and strategic supply chain leader with a passion for building high-performance teams, developing resilient sourcing strategies, and turning complexity into opportunity. With a foundation in the technical sciences and a career spanning supply chain, manufacturing, operations, and sales, I bring a rare end-to-end perspective: I understand how things work, how to make them, and how to bring them to market. Over the years, I’ve led global initiatives across technology and healthcare sectors, consistently driving measurable value through supplier innovation, operational excellence, and cost optimization. What truly sets me apart is my ability to lead at every stage of growth—from architecting functions from scratch to scaling global teams and processes that support multi-billion-dollar operations. My leadership style is rooted in collaboration, influence, and execution. I’ve mentored rising leaders, harmonized cross-functional priorities, and built systems that elevate both performance and culture, earning trust across engineering, finance, and executive teams. Whether navigating new product introduction, solving supply chain risk, or driving technology adoption, I lead with clarity, resilience, and a sharp eye for both detail and impact. I know how to build and scale anything—with the technical depth to understand the product and the business acumen to deliver it to the world!
