Global Supply Chain and Production Planning leader who builds the data infrastructure behind the operation's advanced analytics and decisions.

I lead SIOP, production planning, and OTD/OTS performance across manufacturing sites in the US, Mexico, and China. I personally build the data engineering behind that performance: Power BI reporting, Azure data pipelines, and the applications that make it actionable.

About

Operator and builder

Global Supply Chain and Production Planning leader who builds the data infrastructure he reports from: running SIOP/S&OP, production planning, and inventory/OTD performance across manufacturing sites in the US, Mexico, and China, while personally building the SAP-to-Power BI reporting and Azure data pipelines that make that performance actionable. Operated through two full private equity ownership cycles, including a divestiture, and spent 4-5 years on the ground in China managing sourcing and production. Pairing hands-on operations leadership with the ability to build that same reporting infrastructure is rare, especially for PE-backed and newly acquired manufacturers that need performance visibility fast.

Open to advisory and fractional operations/BI leadership conversations for manufacturers that need performance visibility fast.
