About Christian Calle Madrid

I am a supply chain leader with more than 20 years of global experience leading end-to-end supply chain planning, strategy, and execution across technology and industrial organizations recognized among Gartner’s top supply chain companies. My background spans inventory and demand planning, network design and fulfillment optimization, product and program leadership, and advanced analytics at scale across America, Asia, and Europe.Throughout my career, I have consistently driven material improvements in cost-to-serve, working capital, and service levels by translating strategy into execution. I have led large, cross-functional teams delivering outcomes such as nine-figure savings, sustained multi-year cost reductions, and step-changes in forecast accuracy and fulfillment performance. Equally important, I build high-performing organizations—developing leaders, strengthening engagement, and creating cultures that innovate and raise the bar.My experience includes leading supply chain and fulfillment product and program teams, global inventory planning and optimization organizations, analytics and pricing functions, and serving as general manager for multi-site distribution center operations in Asia.
