Background

About Elena Carmody

I am a Supply Chain and Transportation professional with over 20 years’ experience delivering logistics optimisation and supply continuity across global manufacturing and distribution networks within the pharmaceutical and FMCG sectors.I specialise in transportation strategy, freight cost optimisation, and carrier performance management, with a strong focus on ensuring reliable supply into manufacturing environments. In my current role at EirGen Pharma, I lead transportation performance, driving improvements in routing strategy, cost transparency, and service reliability while acting as a key escalation point for supply risks.Previously at PepsiCo, I led cross-functional supply chain initiatives across international markets, developing KPI frameworks, managing transportation disruptions, and driving process standardisation that improved planning efficiency and operational performance. I also led a team of analysts, building governance structures and enhancing data-driven decision making across the organisation.My approach is grounded in balancing cost, service, and risk—leveraging data, stakeholder alignment, and continuous improvement to deliver resilient and efficient supply chain outcomes. I bring strong experience in operating across complex, multi-country networks and am particularly motivated by roles that combine transportation strategy, supply continuity, and network-level optimisation.
