About Nick Spurlock

I’m a supply-chain and operations leader who thrives in environments experiencing rapid growth, complex product lifecycles, and evolving consumer demand. I partner closely with product, merchandising, sourcing, and logistics teams to build end-to-end supply plans, improve forecast alignment, and ensure that the right product is in the right place at the right time.My experience spans demand planning, supply planning, inventory strategy, and ERP excellence. I’ve built and led lean fulfillment systems, including JIT inventory models, that reduced waste, increased inventory turns, and unlocked millions in cash-flow improvements. I’m fluent in Oracle-based ERP systems (JD Edwards, NetSuite) as well as modern planning and analytics tools, and I regularly build Excel-driven models, dashboards, and KPIs used by directors and C-level executives to drive decisions.With hands-on experience managing operations and inventory flows across Japan, Taiwan, Korea, China, Hong Kong, Europe, Kazakhstan, Russia, Mexico, Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Canada, and the U.S, I’m comfortable navigating complex, multi-node global supply chains. I bring a data-driven, consumer-obsessed, athlete-mindset approach to improving supply-chain resiliency, shortening lead-times, and delivering responsive supply strategies that support high-growth product categories.Collaboration is central to how I work—I build strong relationships with cross-functional partners and maintain a deep network of experts in international trade, finance, manufacturing, product development, compliance, supply chain, pick-and-pack, and IT. These relationships help me continuously drive innovation, problem-solving, and continuous improvement in every environment.At my core, I’m motivated by eliminating waste, strengthening supply planning accuracy, delivering operational excellence, and supporting bold product visions. I’m passionate about working with teams that value agility, curiosity, resilience, and pushing possibilities—the same values that fuel Nike’s mission to serve athletes worldwide.If you’re seeking someone who can stabilize supply, optimize inventory, influence stakeholders with clear insights, and scale systems with confidence, I’d love to connect.Nick Spurlock 80••••••58 n••••••••@gmail.com
