About Samantha Betancourt

Taking a strategic supply chain approach allows businesses to gain a competitive edge and capitalize on growth opportunities in the global marketplace. As a visionary executive with experience spanning end-to-end supply chain optimization including global logistics, planning, procurement, product distribution, supply chain analytics, and various commercial and operational roles, I continuously seek new ways to elevate supply chain practices.My unique approach uses my strong business acumen to drive change and navigate challenging situations in various industries including healthcare, diagnostics, and a variety of other industries, designing both operational improvements and supply chain solutions that prioritize the customer experience, promoting efficiency while driving margin-enhancing financial improvements. As VP of Supply Chain and External Operations for global in vitro diagnostics leader, Ortho Clinical Diagnostics, I spearheaded a restructure of the supply chain, focused on elevating the customer experience and laying the groundwork for further advancements. Orchestrated the formation of a newly created global supply chain organization as VP of Global Supply Chain and Logistics at Terumo Blood and Cell Technologies, guiding transformative initiatives in supply chain redesign, process optimization, and warehouse automation.Additionally, as a bilingual and bicultural Spanish speaker with over 20+ years of experience living in Latin America, I have successfully leveraged my international background across industries and functions, adding a unique and culturally diverse perspective to my leadership approach.At my core, I am all about empowering my team to achieve greatness. Some of my proudest moments have been building teams who form long-lasting bonds. Feel free to reach out to me for meaningful discussions, networking opportunities, or to explore potential collaborations.
