What I do
I build the data systems a global supply chain runs on, and I stay for the decisions they feed. Day to day I work the questions operators bring: why the backlog is growing, which number in the room to trust, what a tariff does to margin this week. I find the pain, bring the people who do the work into the fix, and manage the change so it holds. I built and led a global analytics function across international sites from nothing, automated it to a documented 10:1 savings ratio, and I do not automate waste, I remove it first.
How it comes together
Finance
Valuation, forecasting, and the quantitative methods underneath. I read operations as money.
Operations & Supply Chain
Multi-site planning, MRP, inventory policy, and continuous improvement, in the seat.
Technology & AI
Data pipelines, production apps, and AI kept on a leash, built end to end.
Where it is proven
Manager, Data Analytics & Supply Chain
Jun 2023 - PresentGlobal life sciences company (NASDAQ-listed) · built and lead the global data analytics & continuous improvement function
- Walked in as the graduate intern and built the company's global data analytics and continuous improvement function from scratch, owning value-stream metrics across manufacturing and supply chain and leading a team of six across international sites.
- Ran the same lean turnaround across sites. At one, lead time fell from 17 days to 1, backlog shrank from $17M to $7M, and on-time delivery climbed, inside two months.
- Built the company's first unified global data source, consolidating ten-plus ERP systems into one standardized, AI-ready reporting framework, and harmonized supplier and spend data into its first strategic sourcing platform.
- Automated reporting and manual workflows to a documented 10:1 cost-savings-to-salary ratio, by mapping the value stream with the people doing the work and deleting the waste rather than automating it.
- Designed and deployed automated MRP and replenishment across the company's ten-plus ERP systems, and built the demand and predictive models that held backlog accuracy within a 5% error rate.
- Led a 24-hour cross-functional tariff response, repositioning tens of millions in inventory across international sites near year-end and still hitting targets.
- Developed and owned the enterprise metric governance framework: KPI definitions standardized, data-quality standards set, operations made AI-ready.
- Delivered the analytics behind a two-site distribution center consolidation, a 15% gain in customer satisfaction, completed ahead of schedule.
