• Audit and review supplier Business Continuity Plans (BCPs) as needed; identify gaps and drive corrective actions.
• Identify and evaluate mitigation strategies such as alternate sourcing, dual sourcing, inventory buffering, and regional diversification.

Supply Chain Sustainability

• Integrate enterprise resilience, responsible sourcing, and sustainability initiatives into the broader Risk Program.
• Lead and manage the Supply Chain Sustainability team, responsible for programs such as RBA, Conflict Minerals, supplier emissions, and related initiatives.
