About Karen Jackson

With over 13 years of experience in supply chain management and operations, I am a seasoned professional dedicated to optimizing processes, driving operational efficiency, and fostering continuous improvement. My career has been marked by a proven ability to enhance organizational effectiveness, most notably through my contributions to two of the largest acquisitions in Celanese's history—$1.5 billion and $11 billion. These strategic initiatives, along with my expertise in utilizing tools such as SAP, PowerBI, and Microsoft CRM, have equipped me with a unique skill set that bridges technical acumen with leadership and mentorship. Throughout my career, I’ve excelled in roles where cross-functional collaboration, process optimization, and quality control are critical. From leading training efforts for over 60 new customer service representatives at Celanese to streamlining complex supply chain operations at Vinson Process Controls, my focus has always been on driving results. I’m particularly skilled in supporting large-scale projects, analyzing operational data, and implementing solutions that lead to measurable improvements in both customer satisfaction and internal efficiency. Passionate about both people and process, I take pride in my ability to mentor and develop teams, ensuring that every individual has the tools and knowledge to succeed. Whether managing inventory worth millions of dollars, supporting major acquisitions, or guiding teams through complex system migrations, my goal is always to deliver sustainable growth and operational excellence.
