• CPG-Style Rigor & Planning: Introduce sophisticated demand forecasting, sales and operations planning (S&OP), and inventory replenishment models tailored to a highly variable, hit-driven physical product lifecycle.
• Change Management: Direct a comprehensive organizational change management strategy, ensuring corporate stakeholders, global territory leads, and physical warehouse operators successfully adopt new digital workflows and standardized processes.
• 3PL & Vendor Optimization: Partner with operational leadership to create a framework enabling them to standardize and hold global third-party logistics (3PL) providers, manufacturers, and freight forwarders accountable to strict, data-driven SLAs
• Executive Leadership: Partner closely with the C-suite, technology teams, and global business unit heads to integrate supply chain capabilities into the broader corporate data ecosystem.

• Deep operational, foundational experience within a premier CPG, retail, or fast-moving consumer goods environment 
• Proven success as the business lead for a large-scale, global SCM or ERP system implementation (e.g., o9 solutions, SAP) from blueprinting through to post-go-live optimization.

• Exceptional cross-functional influence and communication skills; the ability to translate complex, rigid supply chain methodologies into agile strategies that support a creative, fast-paced industry.
