  • Proven experience in project and change management, process excellence, business management techniques and organizational development.
  • Deep experience leading global supplier quality organizations in a regulated industry.

  • Knowledge of supplier management requirements and controls including PPAP, SPC, Six Sigma, and Lean Methodologies.
  • Ability to independently and proactively identify areas for improvement, drive benchmarking initiatives by measuring and comparing the performance, efficiency, or quality of a product, service, or process against the industry best practices and initiate change to improve efficiency, quality and decrease the non-conformance costs.
  • Deep technical experience in supply chain and manufacturing operations (including non-conformance cost reduction initiatives, etc.) in a medical device, automotive, or related industry with deep compliance requirements.
  • Demonstrated track record of a self-starter mindset, operating independently on multiple priorities with minimal oversight.
