• Demonstrated leadership across a multi-site manufacturing, distribution, or global supply chain network.
• Strong financial modeling, forecasting, business-case development, capital-allocation, and executive communication skills.
• Experience with ERP, master-data, planning, and business intelligence environments; SAP experience strongly preferred.
• A record of translating productivity initiatives into measurable EBITDA and cash-flow improvement.
