About Chris Calvert

I’m a supply chain and operations professional with over a decade of experience in aerospace and manufacturing, working across procurement, logistics, quality, and production. My career has taken me from hands-on roles in inspection, repair, and heat treat to leading supply chain teams where I focus on streamlining processes, building strong vendor relationships, and delivering cost savings without sacrificing quality. What drives me is solving problems and helping teams work smarter. I enjoy turning complex challenges into practical, data-driven solutions that improve efficiency and support business growth. Along the way, I’ve built a leadership style centered on collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement. I’m excited to keep growing into broader management roles where I can apply my supply chain expertise, operations know-how, and passion for developing people to make a bigger impact.
