I enjoy leading bold, strategic change with a lasting impact on people, process, organizations and industry. I have been described as a balanced decision-maker with a strong entrepreneurial spirit and respect for calculated risk. My track record applying supply chain/business process expertise globally has improved operating performance. for a diverse set of companies. Prior to joining ToolsGroup, I had the opportunity to contribute to an innovative offering at Celestica, Supply Chain Managed Services to tackle planning challenges for high tech clients. I led the effort to create an external market, securing a series of proof of concepts across multiple industries. Leading up to that position I held global roles for high tech companies and founded a supply chain consultancy and research firm.

Unchartered territory is exciting to me, with a great interest in the Internet of Things Along the way I've held adjunct faculty positions and regularly speak at industry conferences to share experiences and inspire individuals to do more than they ever imagined.
