End-to-end supply chain, from planning to delivery

I run supply chain the way the numbers actually move — planning, sourcing, inventory and delivery as one connected system, not four separate handoffs. Across electrified powertrain, power electronics, automotive and industrial manufacturing, that's meant rebuilding S&OP processes to 90%+ forecast accuracy, relocating sourcing under real crisis timing, and recovering margin that inflation had quietly transferred to suppliers.

I publish the research behind that work — sourced, cited, and grounded in real events — because the same public-data method that flags a prospect's exposure before we talk is the method I use to run the diagnostic once we do.
