About Dan Stern

With over a decade of professional experience in supply chain management, I'm currently leading a high-performing team at Boeing, specializing in procurement for defense, space, and security systems. My mission is to optimize supply chain operations, ensuring the delivery of critical hardware and services to our customers. I'm committed to fostering a culture of continuous improvement and strategic innovation that aligns with Boeing's goals, bringing a wealth of diverse perspectives and experiences to drive our team forward. In my most recent role, I've managed a multi-billion dollar hardware and engineering services spend profile, leading a team of 12 in procuring avionics and engine systems through the RFx process. My competencies lie in developing complex negotiation strategies, overseeing major contracts, and engaging directly with legal teams to draft terms that benefit Boeing. I've been instrumental in achieving substantial savings and enabling collaborative ventures, such as the $170M secure cloud services agreement, which underscore my expertise in supply chain optimization and strategic negotiations.
