About Vee Icenogle
As a seasoned Supply Chain Leader with over 20 years of experience, I specialize in driving operational excellence and digital transformation across sourcing and procurement functions. I currently lead the Center of Excellence team within Supply Chain Management at Southwest Airlines, where I’m responsible for the strategic oversight, optimization, and upkeep of our Source to Pay systems and processes.In my time at Southwest, I’ve led initiatives to streamline procurement operations and improve user experience by leveraging tools such as Coupa, SAP, and Ariba. My team plays a central role in system governance, process design, continuous improvement, and cross-functional alignment across the enterprise.Before Southwest, I spent 20 years at Caterpillar, developing deep expertise in logistics, category management, and transportation. That foundation has shaped my approach to scalable supply chain strategies and technology enablement.Throughout my career, I’ve been passionate about building high-performing teams, mentoring future leaders, and implementing systems that deliver measurable business value. I thrive at the intersection of people, process, and technology—and I’m energized by the opportunity to help organizations operate smarter, faster, and more effectively.
