Summary
With over 39 years of experience in applying advanced analytics to improve supply chain performance, I am a passionate and seasoned leader in the field of supply chain design and optimization. I have helped hundreds of organizations across various industries and geographies adopt and implement supply chain design and planning principles and technologies, delivering value and impact on their bottom line and competitive edge. As the VP of Solution Strategy at GAINS, I leverage my extensive industry, software, and consulting background to enhance the strategy, positioning, and vision of GAINS' solutions, which enable data-driven decision making and continuous improvement for supply chain operations. I also build and mentor a high-performing team of consultants and analysts, who provide best-in-class services and support to our clients. Additionally, I enjoy sharing my knowledge and insights with the wider supply chain community, through speaking engagements, publications, and partnerships with professional organizations and universities. My mission is to evangelize the need and the benefits of developing supply chain design and advanced analytics competencies in today's dynamic and complex business environment.
