Strategic supply chain and operations executive who transforms complex logistics into competitive advantage. I lead high-performing teams and design scalable procurement, materials management, and distribution solutions that cut costs and strengthen resilience. My work has delivered multi-million-dollar savings, accelerated global ERP implementations, and standardized sourcing and contracting across healthcare, industrial, and military operations.

Drawing on 12 years of U.S. Army Special Operations leadership and five years directing healthcare and industrial supply chains, I connect strategy to execution with calm precision, whether integrating multi-hospital systems, modernizing warehouses, or mitigating global supply risk.

I thrive on continuous learning and use data-driven insights to simplify decisions, boost operational efficiency, and create measurable impact for the organizations and communities I serve

I am a supply chain and operations executive with 15+ years of leadership across healthcare, corporate, and U.S. Army Special Operations. Currently Associate Director of Corporate Supply Chain Operations at Penn Medicine, I lead enterprise-wide initiatives in procurement, contracting, supplier governance, ERP transformation (Infor CloudSuite, SAP, Workday), compliance (COI, W-8/W-9), and recall management. I build KPI dashboards and analytics in Power BI, Excel, and RStudio to drive decision-making, optimize contract lifecycle performance, and ensure regulatory compliance. My earlier military career included 12 years as a logistics officer and company commander in Army Special Operations, where I managed $650M+ in global assets, improved fleet readiness, implemented ERP systems, and led complex operations across four continents. Recognized for change management, risk mitigation, and team development, I bring a proven ability to transform supply chain organizations, deliver cost savings, and strengthen operational resilience.
