I lead programs where product launches meet supply chain execution: packaging, procurement, inventory, fulfillment and the ERP and 3PL systems that connect them.

I back program decisions with data. I build SQL and Power BI dashboards and automated reporting that cut excess inventory by 15% and reduced a weekly reporting task from five hours to under ten minutes.

I work across Finance, Operations, Supply Chain, Engineering, Sales, Ecommerce and Planning teams to keep launches on schedule and supply continuous.
