About Maximilien Knox Kelly
I’ve built my career at the intersection of operations, supply chain, and strategic leadership, scaling complex programs and optimizing global networks while driving measurable financial and operational impact. From orchestrating multi-site manufacturing at AWS to leading inventory planning for hundreds of SKUs at Apple, I thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments where strategy meets execution. Whether it’s streamlining warehouse flows, optimizing vendor performance, or implementing scalable frameworks, I bring clarity, rigor, and results to every initiative.I specialize in turning operational complexity into repeatable processes that deliver tangible results. I’ve owned global ODM/CM operations, managed reverse logistics across multiple markets, implemented standardized dashboards and KPIs, and executed multimillion-dollar cost optimization programs. Partnering with Finance, Product, and Engineering teams, I’ve launched initiatives that increase capacity, reduce cycle time, mitigate risk, and unlock growth — all while ensuring alignment across stakeholders and maintaining high performance under pressure.Key Highlights & Achievements:Global Operations & Supply Chain: Scaled weekly output across multiple ODM/CM sites driving program capacity from 500 → 100 racks/week; implemented frameworks to monitor performance, ramp execution, and throughput.Inventory & Demand Planning: Managed inventory planning for 150+ SKUs across 9 vendors; optimized multi-channel sell-through; led executive supply reviews and proactively mitigated stockout risk.Financial & Commercial Impact: Negotiated strategic partner contracts; implemented SLA frameworks; identified $38M in FX claims; drove $7M+ savings via palletization and $1.5M in reverse logistics revenue growth.Team Leadership & Cross-Functional Collaboration: Built and mentored high-performing teams of 5+; led cross-market operations across North America and internationally; partnered with Finance, Engineering, and Product teams to execute scalable operational solutions.Process Optimization & Strategic Initiatives: Launched reverse logistics, kitting, de-tracking, and warehouse process improvements; standardized operating procedures across multiple markets; improved labor allocation by 20% and vendor reliability by 25%.Commercial/Category Management: Executed RFPs, vendor negotiations, and network-wide partner initiatives; diversified supply and sales channels (Walmart, Macy’s, Target); strengthened vendor relationships to drive cost savings and operational flexibility.
