Introduction
With over 27 years of experience in Sales, Supply, and Operations Planning (S&OP), I lead strategic initiatives across the manufacturing, education, and commercial sectors. I work to align demand and supply through rigorous planning and inventory management, ensuring that cross-functional operations deliver actionable information to decision-makers. Having served as Head of Information Systems and Global S&OP Manager, I manage complex systems based on Enterprise Architecture principles. My focus is to lead the delivery of the right data across the organization to work toward repeatable results. I ensure that every operation remains adherent to process and policy, allowing Sales and Demand planning to drive informed, timely business decisions. My approach to S&OP includes: - Financial Alignment: I manage the synchronization of inventory levels and sales forecasts with cash flow requirements and P&L objectives. - Cross-Functional Change Management: I lead organizational change across departments, fostering a culture where operations and finance work in tandem to drive efficiency. - Integrated Reporting: By leveraging Enterprise Architecture, I ensure that planning data is translated into accurate financial and transactional reporting to support informed decision-making. - Operational Excellence: I manage the transition of high-level demand signals into workable supply chain operations, maintaining strict adherence to policy and fiscal responsibility. By aligning S&OP processes with financial strategy, I ensure that the right information reaches the right people across the enterprise, turning operational planning into a primary driver of financial health.
