Background

About Jim Vardell

Throughout my career at Texas Instruments, I've operated at C-suite scope: directing global logistics for $ across all business units and geographies, and leading FP & A for a $. In smaller organizations, these would be Chief Supply Chain Officer and CFO-track roles. At TI, this dual experience has built the operational breadth of a COO combined with the financial acumen of a CFO.This combination enables me to see opportunities and constraints that single-function leaders miss. I architect financially-sound strategies because I understand P&L implications. I execute operationally-complex transformations because I've run enterprise-scale logistics. I can build the plan with the CFO and execute it with the COO - because I've been both: Led financial execution of $. affecting 5,700+ employees across 7 jurisdictions. Currently directing FP & A for a $, partnering with C-suite on strategy, forecasting, and capital allocation. Previously led cash management, capital markets, and $ oversight: Re-architected distribution channels to transition $ with zero disruption - a fundamental go-to-market shift requiring complete logistics infrastructure redesign. Designed transportation solutions enabling %+. Accelerated %%: Directed global logistics for $ across all TI business units and geographies. Managed 18 3PL sites in 7 countries, negotiating strategic agreements across Asia. Delivered %$ while scaling infrastructure. Maintained through COVID-19 and semiconductor volatility: The ability to architect financially-sound strategies and execute them operationally - bridging the gap that causes most transformations to fail. I don't just forecast what the business might do - I understand how to operationally deliver it.
