Background

Job Description

As Director of Supply Chain Operations & Global Logistics at Kymeta Corporation, I oversee the end-to-end flow of materials and finished products and coach teams in applying continuous improvement principles to real-world challenges. I work with colleagues to standardize forecasting and planning processes—boosting on-time delivery by over 15 percentage points—while leveraging data and digital tools to build real-time dashboards that expose performance gaps and drive problem-solving. In addition, I negotiate strategic partnerships with service providers to balance cost efficiency and service quality, and lead cross-functional initiatives—from Oracle WMS integrations to freight optimization—that teach stakeholders how to develop robust business cases and measure ROI. Through structured coaching, hands-on projects, and data-driven decision-making, I empower future supply chain leaders to cultivate the skills and mindset required to achieve breakthrough results.
