About Gwyneth Lodge Rampton

As an influential and results-driven executive, I have extensive experience leading supply chain, ESG, retail, and procurement strategies. During my career, I have implemented an innovative vision for sustainable solutions and new initiatives. I have also leveraged data to identify opportunities and drive cost savings while creating a culture of engagement and cross-functional collaboration. I am an authentic leader who drives retention by developing professionals and coaching and mentoring them to achieve high performance and value. I lead with clear communication and transparency to align teams toward organizational objectives, driving results and profitability across enterprises. A few notable accomplishments of which I am incredibly proud include:• Onboarding 50-60 diverse suppliers over a 3-year period at Compass Group/Foodbuy, creating purchase options and limiting supply chain risks.• Assessing and optimizing products available in order guides and delivering $15M in cost savings at Compass Group/Foodbuy.• Introducing and mobilizing the global contract involving coffee, vending, and water services; delivered 10% in cost savings to the client, exceeding the contractual commitment by 2% at Compass Group/Foodbuy.• Improving Home Depot’s seasonal category market share position from an estimated #7 to #2 in the country during my tenure.I am excited to expand my professional network and see what the future may hold.
