Experience

1. Supply Planning Manager

   SC Johnson

   Jan 2021 — Present · Chicago, IL, US

   Built and led a high-performing supply planning organization supporting ~$1B in annual revenue across 19 manufacturing sites and 80+ global suppliers, with ownership of ~$80M inventory within a ~$160M portfolio; accountable for annual supply planning budget and inventory processes, aligning financial targets with operational realities across multiple brands.• Managed service and working-capital trade-offs amid sustained 12–15% YoY growth and extreme channel volatility, with key channels growing 28%+ YoY; navigated peak disruptions including eCommerce demand +59% in peak month and ~300% of forecast shipped, actively prioritizing supply against a 93.5% case fill rate. Strengthened supply resilience for Method Body Wash (#2 body wash in Target), sustaining ~35% CAGR through proactive raw-material safety stock strategies, including during COVID disruptions.• Stabilized end-to-end supply planning across internal and external manufacturing networks by implementing advanced PO strategies, safety stock policies, and multi-site risk-mitigation practices—protecting production continuity across chemicals, fragrances, and packaging during high-volatility periods.• Led supply planning and DRP change adoption for a Kinaxis implementation covering ~25 end users, stabilizing a high-risk go-live through SME-led ownership, real-workflow UAT design, and end-to-end operational simulations—resulting in an on-time launch with zero production stops, no customer service impact, and no major post-launch issues.• Ensured operational continuity by temporarily leading two additional teams immediately post–Kinaxis go-live during a peer manager’s parental leave, sustaining execution under elevated demand and system change.
