About Andrea Brunson Ochman

Supply Chain & Portfolio Leader | Collapsing Decision Latency to Unlock EBITDA, Cash, and MarginI help organizations make better decisions across product, customer, and supply chain—unlocking cash, margin, and service performance. With over 20 years of experience across the biopharma, CDMO, and medical device industries, I have seen a consistent pattern: most companies do not have a planning problem; they have a decision execution problem.My career centers on building true \"Organizational Fitness\" by fixing how decisions flow across the enterprise. I lead large-scale Integrated Business Planning (IBP) and S & OP transformations that do more than just install software—they build the \"Engine Room\" that forces rigorous alignment between commercial, manufacturing, and financial strategies.By translating operational complexity into a clear Financial Value Bridge for the C-Suite and Private Equity sponsors, I have a track record of turning supply chain friction into hard ROI. My measurable impacts include:Collapsing decision latency to cut the cash cycle from 200 to 140 days.Freeing $50M in trapped, slow-moving inventory.Implementing predictive analytics and digital planning to dramatically sharpen forecast accuracy and decision velocity.I don\'t just build supply chain strategies; I operationalize them on the floor. Whether I am shaping network strategy, driving digital adoption, or mentoring high-performing global teams, my goal is to stop execution from absorbing the cost of indecision and turn your supply chain into a high-speed execution engine
