About Chris Pullar

I lead supply chain technology and operations across complex, multi-site distribution networks, with a focus on integration, standardization, and performance improvement.In my current role at Estée Lauder, I was selected to expand my leadership scope from 7 to 15+ sites across the U.S. and Canada, supporting high-volume, omnichannel distribution environments. My work has centered on driving operational performance through technology, delivering $40MM+ in value and leading $10MM+ in capital initiatives across automation and enterprise systems.I specialize in aligning business and technology during periods of change — including site integrations, system standardization, and network consolidation — partnering with executive stakeholders to drive scalable, efficient operations.I’m particularly interested in roles focused on transformation, integration, and M&A where operational and technology leadership intersect.
