I've led supply chain transformations that delivered over $8.5M in verifiable cost savings while building resilient operations across military, retail, and manufacturing environments. My approach: treat every supply chain as a strategic asset, not a cost center.

What drives my success:
My foundation in military logistics—managing $65M in assets and 500+ personnel across 10 international locations—developed my core competencies in strategic planning, crisis management, and leading large-scale operations under pressure. I've successfully translated this operational discipline into measurable business outcomes in commercial environments.
Recent strategic achievements:

Spearheaded $200M+ supply chain transformation integrating SAP S/4HANA and Kinaxis across multi continent operations, driving enterprise-wide visibility
Generated $5M+ annual savings through strategic sourcing program covering 300+ suppliers, reducing disruptions by 35%
Enhanced working capital by 12% deploying real-time control tower and IBP process for 5,000+ SKUs
Elevated on-time delivery from 89% to 97% through Lean Six Sigma initiatives while reducing freight costs 18%
Led ERP transformation automating 40% of workflows, improving forecast accuracy by 25% for 50,000+ SKUs
Built comprehensive risk management framework reducing supply disruptions by 40%

My leadership philosophy:
I build high-performing teams by combining military precision with commercial agility. Whether mentoring 13 project managers or aligning IT, Finance, and Sales teams, I focus on creating cultures of continuous improvement and data-driven decision-making.
Areas of expertise:
✓ Supply Chain Transformation & Cost Optimization
✓ Operations Management & Network Design
✓ Digital Leadership (SAP S/4HANA, Kinaxis RapidResponse, Advanced Analytics)
✓ P&L Management & Strategic Sourcing ($8M+ budgets)
✓ Military-Grade Crisis Management & Business Continuity
✓ Lean Six Sigma Black Belt & Operational Excellence
✓ Team Development & Cross-Functional Leadership
Currently exploring senior supply chain and operations leadership opportunities where military-honed discipline meets commercial innovation. Let's connect if you're looking for a proven leader who delivers measurable impact.

Executive Coach & Former COO | Helping Directors & VPs Lead Bigger with Clarity, Influence & Results — Leadership Advisor & Speaker | Follow for Leadership Strategies

If your team still needs your approval to move, you are not scaling.
You are managing everything.

And if decisions stall without you, it is not a leadership issue.
It is a structural one.

At $8M to $50M, growth outpaces systems.
The company looks bigger, but throughput does not keep up.
Execution slows. Decisions pile up.
And your most capable people still wait for permission.

That is Founder Gravity.
It happens when every important decision quietly pulls back to you.
Left unaddressed, it compounds.

I fix that.

I am an Executive Decision Advisor for B2B service businesses where execution is stuck, even though the people are strong.

I rebuild the decision system so that:

• Ownership sticks
• Escalation drops
• The business moves without you in every loop

This is not coaching.
It is not team-building.
It is decision architecture for companies that need to move.

Why I Do This

I have spent 20 years inside growth as a GM, COO, and advisor across Australia, the UK, and Canada.

Everywhere I have worked, the pattern is the same:
Strategy is not the constraint.
The decision system is.

When decisions break under pressure, the founder becomes the operating system.
I help you remove that dependency.

What Changes

You stop approving everything.
Your team moves without checking in.
Decisions flow across the business.
Execution gets lighter, not heavier.

When to Reach Out

If:

• Everything is escalating
• You are the blocker again
• Your leadership team is capable but still waiting

Then it is time to fix how decisions move.

Based in Australia. Working globally.
If this is already costing you speed, send a message or request a confidential Executive Advisory Conversation.
