Summary
The breadth of my involvement and leadership in different business models has aided me in developing a wealth of supply chain skills with a core strength in strategic thinking and business development to deliver impactful organizational results. I’ve spent my career collaborating at all levels and challenging the status quo with the understanding that the way it is done today does not necessarily mean that it’s the best way to do it tomorrow. I appreciate that we live in a world where change is inevitable. New dynamics and opportunities present themselves every day. Being able to both understand and take advantage of them has enabled me to quickly adapt in new environments and implement winning business systems and strategies for companies. IBM
