My professional engagement connects academic research, supply chain education, and industry practice. Drawing on experience in procurement, strategic sourcing, logistics, and supply chain management, I contribute to practitioner publications, professional organizations, industry partnerships, and applied learning initiatives.
I translate research and emerging supply chain issues into practitioner-oriented insights for industry audiences. My work has appeared in Supply Chain Management Review, Supply & Demand Chain Executive, and Food Logistics, addressing topics including Lean operations, sustainable procurement, circular supply chains, AI, workforce development, logistics, and supply chain risk.

Prior to my academic career, I held senior procurement and strategic sourcing roles in manufacturing and distribution. My experience spans strategic sourcing, supplier negotiations and development, logistics, inventory management, cost reduction, and continuous improvement.
I managed sourcing and procurement activities across complex supply networks, including supplier performance improvement, inventory optimization, contract negotiations, and total cost of ownership initiatives. This industry experience informs both my research and teaching by connecting academic concepts with operational and managerial practice.
