My deep knowledge of and connection with the main stakeholders at all levels within the technology, electronics and semi-conductor industry is a valuable asset.Additionally, I have a reputation for challenging the status quo and thinking critically, creatively and dynamically to identify and resolve operational deficiencies. Successful companies not only stem from quality and market-driven product and service lines, but also strong organizational infrastructures.

This is an area that really interests me, and I strive to pay attention to these issues in how I manage my company's supply chain in a way that respects our human and natural resources.My areas of expertise:• P&L and budget management• Management• Global supply chains• Sustainability• Procurement• Strategic sourcing• Leadership• Employee development• ERP implementationIf you'd like to learn more, please connect with me or email.katheijcalvin@gmail.com
