ABOUT DAVID POGGI
I’m a strategic supply chain executive with 20 years of experience leading transformational change across fast paced, high growth environments. My experience spans the full end to end supply chain, from demand and production planning to manufacturing and logistics, but my true passion and strength lie in leadership. I thrive on translating boardroom strategy into clear direction, meaningful pull, and measurable results across global teams. I’m equally committed to bringing operational realities back to senior leadership to inform smarter decisions and long term planning. That two way translation, strategy into action and insights into strategy, is where I do my best work.I believe high performing teams are built on trust, transparency, shared purpose, and the freedom to challenge the status quo. When people feel empowered to think boldly and collaborate openly, innovation accelerates and organizations achieve outcomes that truly move the needle.A little more about me… I have a family with two active children who have taught me more about leadership and a growth mindset than any professional experience ever could. We enjoy engaging in our local community and love outdoor sports or cheering the kids on from the sidelines of a soccer, basketball, or crew competition. Those moments keep me grounded, energized, and always learning.
