I am the Director of Integrated Business Planning, VVS within the Supply Chain organization, and have been working at VVS since September 2020. Initially focused on building SI&OP capabilities, I recently redirected my attention to VVS’ urgent material management issue and led the “Material Harmonization Initiative” to consolidate our vast and complex list of materials, creating a simpler standard material catalog, and developing a disciplined material management governance.

Prior to working at VVS, I worked in the vitamin supplement and consumer electronics industries. During that time, I led global supply chain transformations, operational improvements, and enterprise system implementations both in the US and Europe to improve supply chain agility and efficiency and ultimately drive cost reduction, customer service level improvements, and revenue and profitability growth.
