About Steven Babcock
An experienced supply chain executive specializing in Supplier Development, International Sourcing, Procurement Team Development & Management and Commodity Management. Career progression from commodity trading, to managing complex commodities and teams across the globe in many types of manufacturing environments: job shop, make to order, capital equipment, consumer goods and technical industrial/medical. I have worked in small, medium, and large volume production and procurement organizations with annual direct material spends of up to $600M to develop and execute cost-saving and risk mitigation supply chain strategies. I have consistently delivered year over year total cost savings in excess of budget. My proven track record of delivering on aggressive savings goals has been by being both process- and results-oriented. I excel at team-building, VE and PPV savings project funnel creation & execution, in cross-business, cross-functional environments across continents; this combination has been exceptionally helpful in leading aquisition integration activities at Danaher. My negotiating style leads to mutual wins between parties. Go to Gemba: I have a strong bias toward close interaction with suppliers and working with them to discover and deliver on our mutual goals.
