I am a global procurement and supply chain leader who has spent two decades making the invisible engine of business, procurement and supply chain - visible, strategic, and respected. I lead with a simple belief: procurement and supply chains are not just cost levers. They are platforms to empower people, enable progress, and create meaningful business and societal value. That conviction has shaped everything I have done, from delivering $165M in value across 50+ countries and building teams that outlast me, to navigating some of the most severe tests a supply chain can face, including Chapter 11 restructuring and a global pandemic. For me, it is proof that when purpose drives leadership, performance follows - even under the most extreme pressure.
