About John Lopez

Global Operations & Supply Chain Executive with 25+ years driving digital transformation and operational intelligence across high-tech manufacturing, AI hardware, and life-sciences sectors. I blend hands-on execution with strategic leadership—building scalable systems, leading multi-site teams, and delivering measurable business impact through operational excellence and organizational agility. I’ve led enterprise-wide ERP and PLM transformations (Oracle JD Edwards, SAP, Microsoft Business Central, Arena PLM, Agile PLM), integrating predictive analytics, AI, and process automation to improve efficiency, cost control, and quality. My work connects advanced planning systems, business process optimization, data governance, and IIoT for real-time operational visibility and smarter supply-chain orchestration. Recognized for turning complexity into clarity—implementing SIOP/IBP frameworks, developing digital-twin models for smart-factory readiness, and executing global sourcing, change leadership, and continuous improvement initiatives. Proven results include improving OTIF from 30% → 95%, eliminating $14M in backorders, and leading multi-site expansions delivered on time and under budget.
