About Brano A.

Following my graduation, after losing my country and home I have decided not to live on post war minefields and buy one way ticket to Florida, USA, Special thanks to my parents who gave up everything and workers at International Organization for Migration - IOM- I joined Jabil in with no English skills, made many new friends and learned the Jabil way from there. Working for Jabil is like working for top 400 companies in the world and learning so many cool things from the best in the industry, I grew within the supply chain team consistently increasing my responsibility within the company from Industrial Engineer to support Material Quotation Team, Supply Chain Project Manager and most recently, and Commodity Manager for Healthcare, Automotive and Data Center Integration- Right before Covid in 2018, I joined Jabil Healthcare as the Supply Chain Program Manager for the largest medical device customer in the division. After working in engineering roles for 18 years, I decided to accept challenges that come with Supply Chain Management. During my tenure, we had few extreme conditions due to COVID not only for respiratory ventilators but also blood monitors and other diagnostics devices where my customers faced many challenges with sourcing of various material.It\'s been a fun journey from pulling cables for internet in schools to be able to work on Data Center and Healthcare.Kids, live your American dream. Don\'t be afraid to make new friends!
