Supply Chain Advisory for Pharma. Helping your experts make decisions that matter. I help Pharma leadership teams turn planning uncertainty into clear, owned decisions. 14+ years of experience in Pharma, IBP, S&OP and AI-enabled planning.
The real problem
I've seen this pattern repeatedly, across businesses, regions and planning organizations. High inventory — yet still running out of the right things. Planning cycles that exhaust the team — without producing clear decisions. Escalations that repeat — because the root cause was never fixed.
"The problem is rarely the supply chain itself. It's the operating model around the decisions."
Why it matters — This isn't just operational. It's strategic.
Supply chain decisions affect everything executives care about. Patient access — a stockout is a human problem. Working capital locked up — excess inventory signals broken decisions. Growth that stalls — new markets throttled by supply uncertainty. Leadership credibility — surprises erode board trust fast.
Services — Three areas. One focus: better decisions.
1. IBP & S&OP Decision Redesign
Turn your planning process into a genuine decision engine — with clear ownership, real trade-offs, and alignment between commercial and supply. Process design, decision logic, governance.
2. Supply Planning & Network Optimization
Reduce instability, right-size inventory, and improve responsiveness — without adding complexity to an already complex system. Inventory, network design, responsiveness.
3. AI-Enabled Planning
Pragmatic tools that translate uncertainty into decisions. Not dashboards. Not forecasts. Actual decision support that leaders use. Scenario planning, decision tools, analytics.
About — Why work with me
I've been inside these problems. I don't start with a framework. I start with the decision problem. I bring pattern recognition from 14 years of working inside the complexity you're navigating. My experience spans products, regions and operating models — from the factory floor to the boardroom. That combination is rare, and it's what allows me to bridge operational reality with executive decision-making.
