Supply Chain Advisory for Pharma. Decisions. Alignment. Impact. I work with Pharma leaders who are tired of planning noise, inventory surprises, and decisions that never quite stick. 14+ years of experience in Pharma, IBP, S&OP and AI-enabled planning.

The real problem

I've seen this pattern across dozens of organizations. High inventory — yet still running out of the right things. Planning cycles that exhaust the team — without producing clear decisions. Commercial and supply disconnected — until it becomes a crisis. Escalations that repeat — because the root cause was never fixed. Constant firefighting — mistaken for operational excellence.

"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 — in Pharma, a stockout is not a commercial problem, it's a human one. Working capital locked up — excess inventory doesn't just cost money, it signals broken decisions. Growth that stalls — new markets and products throttled by supply uncertainty. Leadership credibility — when supply chain surprises the board, trust erodes 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 bring frameworks. 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.
