I’ve been called many things …

I started my post-college career when I was hired as a supply chain intern working abroad for PACCESS Packaging (now BILLERUD) in Bangkok, Thailand. After earning a reputation as the resident ‘Excel guy’ I began helping out with testing custom claims QA software and crafting business reports. Every few years … my curiosity and the needs of the business led me down a beautiful spiral into the world of Business Analysis and Information Technology (see my journey at BILLERUD below). It was here that I developed an appreciation, awareness, and understanding of the many facets of a global supply chain. It’s important to clarify roles, responsibilities, and expectations to ensure processes and practices allow an organization to run efficiently. Could you use more clarity and transparent communication within your team? Drop me a line!
