Über mich

30 years experience in Supply Chain for global organizations - optimizing and orchestrating logistics, procurement and S&OP. I provide expertise, focus and strategy required to spearhead business transformation, and take pride in establishing high performing, economical and sustainable Supply Chain functions If you are an organization that requires an optimized Supply Chain, I am able to offer a wealth of experience in the execution of end-to-end change initiatives across people, processes and technology, and the ability to translate multi-functional business requirements into industry-leading best practice Some examples of my successes include standardizing global portfolio-wide logistics and reducing costs by $18.5m per year (15%), optimizing international Supply Chain with significantly increased staff performance and bottom-line value by $20m, and securing the Israeli government's first approval for the transfer of hazardous liquids, enabling a profitability increase of $7.5m
