I lead supply chain and procurement transformations that deliver measurable results — not just process change. Over 15 years across Philip Morris International and The Chemours Company, I have built and restructured planning organizations, deployed advanced planning platforms across global networks, and driven substantial variable cost reduction through disciplined supply chain and procurement transformation. At Chemours, I lead global Supply Chain & Procurement transformation across a multi-plant manufacturing network — delivering significant year-over-year cost improvement through procurement renegotiations, logistics network redesign, materials optimization, and end-to-end supply chain transformation. At PMI, I reengineered the European planning organization across 10 manufacturing plants and 50+ markets — substantially reducing the planning organization, moving from monthly to weekly planning cycles without service degradation, and deploying E2OPEN integrated with SAP APO across the region. I received PMI's Excellence Award for leading the EU manufacturing footprint restructuring during the critical IQOS launch period. I have spoken at international industry events including LogiChem, Supply Chain Management Munich, and a Global Supply Chain & Network Strategy forum in Malaysia. Speaking engagements: - KL Global Manufacturing & Supply Chain 5.0 Forum — Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia | "Turning Collaboration into Integration: Gaining Efficiency across Logistics, Purchasing and Supply Chain Functions" - LogiChem Europe — Rotterdam | "S&OP Reengineering: End-to-End Visibility, Data-Driven Decision Making and Digital Transformation in Specialty Chemicals" - Supply Chain Management Strategies Summit (SCMS Summit) — Munich | "Supply Chain Transformation: Strategy, Key Focus Areas and the Future of IBP" IBP/S&OP · Capacity & Network Strategy · OMP · E2OPEN · SAP IBP · Procurement Transformation · Logistics Optimization · Cost-to-Serve · Swiss citizen · Bilingual English/French
