Background

About Izabela Salgado

Some people see the glass half full; others see the glass half empty. What I see is that it has definitely room for improvement! I’m a supply chain professional with 14+ years of experience with significant results across the mining, manufacturing, and industrial sectors. Throughout my career, I’ve worked in complex end-to-end supply chain operations—spanning procurement, demand forecasting, inventory planning, and S & OP—while building a strong track record of cost savings, service level improvement, and cross-functional collaboration. From leading global S & OP processes to implementing purchasing controls and inventory strategies, I’ve successfully led initiatives that achieved multimillion-dollar savings, streamlined inventory across thousands of SKUs, and enhanced supplier performance and forecasting accuracy. I bring a strategic mindset and hands-on style, backed by an engineering background and an MBA, and with the ability to align stakeholders across global and remote teams, turn data into actionable insights, and drive continuous improvement in dynamic environments.
