Fractional Supply Chain Director | CPG, MRP, Procurement & 3PL

I help growing CPG, food & beverage, e-commerce, and manufacturing companies build and operate reliable supply chains—from forecasting and procurement through production, packaging, warehousing, 3PL fulfillment, and delivery. With 15+ years of experience in supply chain, logistics, manufacturing, international trade, and sourcing, I can step in as a fractional supply chain leader or solve a specific operational problem. I work at both the strategic and execution level: I can design the process, build the plan, coordinate the vendors, and help carry it through. I can support you with: • Fractional supply chain and operations leadership • S&OP, demand planning, forecasting, and production planning • MRP, inventory planning, shortage analysis, and replenishment • Procurement, strategic sourcing, supplier qualification, and vendor management • Raw material and packaging procurement • Co-manufacturer / contract manufacturer sourcing and coordination • Product costing, commercialization, and production launch support • Packaging RFQs, artwork/proof coordination, GS1/barcodes, and specifications • 3PL selection, warehouse setup, fulfillment strategy, and cost analysis • Freight, international shipping, transportation procurement, and inbound logistics • Import/export strategy, HTS/tariff analysis, US Customs, and regulatory compliance • Amazon FBA, Shopify, ShipStation, and e-commerce fulfillment My recent work has included building and managing MRP and production plans, issuing and tracking POs, coordinating suppliers and co-manufacturers, managing raw materials and packaging, evaluating 3PL and warehouse costs, supporting product launches, and improving day-to-day operating processes for growing consumer brands. I am comfortable working inside tools such as Wherefour, Asana, Shopify, ShipStation, GS1, Amazon FBA, Walmart Seller Center, Excel, and ERP/MRP systems. If your supply chain has become too complex to manage informally—or you need experienced leadership without hiring a full-time Supply Chain Director—send me a message with the problem you are trying to solve. I can quickly tell you how I would approach it.
