Reece R.
CEO | Supply Chain Executive | Global Operations | Sourcing
As a United States Marine Corps veteran and experienced supply chain executive, I bring discipline, accountability, decisive execution, and executive-level oversight to organizations where failure to execute has real financial consequences. I've operated across aerospace, advanced robotics, hydrogen infrastructure, manufacturing, oil and gas, government contracting, consumer products, e-commerce, commercial real estate, and international supply chains. I understand the difference between developing a strategy and being accountable for its execution. My track record speaks for itself. Documented Results $484M+ in contract-management oversight $2.49M+ in documented cost savings $8.38M+ in negotiated purchasing-term improvements $10M+ in active domestic and international supply lines managed 271% year-over-year growth supported for a consumer brand 50 consumer products launched in a single year 7 consumer brands managed simultaneously 130+ completed Upwork engagements Executive Leadership & Operational Execution Procurement & Strategic Sourcing Supplier development, global sourcing, contract negotiations, competitive bidding, purchasing strategy, cost reduction, and supplier accountability. Supply Chain & Operations Leadership End-to-end supply chain oversight, inventory strategy, demand planning, manufacturing coordination, operational restructuring, and cross-functional execution. Systems & Infrastructure ERP implementation, procurement systems, WMS, EDI integrations, 3PL selection, workflow automation, and operational infrastructure designed to support growth. Manufacturing & Global Logistics Product development, domestic and international manufacturing, import/export operations, supplier risk management, freight optimization, and distribution strategy. Executive & Fractional Leadership Director-level leadership, operational assessments, procurement transformation, financial accountability, SOP development, and execution of complex strategic initiatives. Technology & Enterprise Systems Hands-on experience with SAP Ariba, Oracle NetSuite, Odoo, Acumatica, Costpoint, Jaggaer, Zoho, Inventory Planner by Sage, Shopify, Amazon Seller Central, and enterprise warehouse and fulfillment platforms. I've also led software selection, 3PL evaluation, and integrations connecting EDI, SAP, DISCO, national retailers, Shopify, TikTok Shop, Amazon, and other sales channels. Technology does not fix poor leadership, disconnected departments, or broken processes. Strong operational strategy does. Who I Work With I partner with manufacturers, e-commerce brand owners, government agencies, and government contractors that need executive-level supply chain leadership, disciplined procurement, and operational execution. Manufacturers: Bringing order to operational chaos, strengthening supplier networks, controlling costs, improving production efficiency, and building scalable supply chains that support aggressive growth without sacrificing profitability. E-Commerce & Consumer Brands: Helping founder-led and established brands transition from reactive operations to structured, cross-functional growth. Aligning procurement, inventory, manufacturing, fulfillment, and sales channels to protect margins, improve cash flow, and scale without losing operational control. Government Agencies & Contractors: Providing disciplined procurement, strategic sourcing, supplier qualification, contract administration, logistics coordination, and operational support in environments where compliance, documentation, accountability, and execution are non-negotiable. Whether the problem is uncontrolled spending, unreliable suppliers, excess inventory, failed systems, manufacturing delays, or growth outpacing infrastructure, my focus is the same: Identify the problem. Establish control. Execute the solution. Measure the results.
