With extensive experience leading supply chain functions at Coca-Cola, Hershey's, Unilever, and Loblaw, I specialize in building the S&OP and IBP frameworks that connect forecast to factory floor to financial outcomes. At Coca-Cola Canada Bottling, I led capacity and demand planning across a $2B network , 500+ SKUs, 5 manufacturing facilities, and 35 distribution centers. I designed and elevated end-to-end S&OP processes that aligned Brand, Sales, Finance, and Supply teams around a single operating plan , improving forecast accuracy by 9%, boosting fulfillment rates by over 5%, and delivering a 15% reduction in operating costs through network optimization. What makes me different: I connect strategy with execution. I build S&OP and IBP processes that scale, supported by network optimization models in Coupa, Power BI dashboards that give leadership real‑time visibility, and cross‑functional alignment that turns plans into action rather than just presentations.
