About Mark Shandley

Our team at International Development Services, Inc. capitalizes on comprehensive margin analysis and operations execution to revitalize a diverse range of businesses. With a focus on sustainable growth, we've turned around multiple companies, leveraging my expertise in managing global operations. Previously, as Chief Procurement Officer, the collaboration with key stakeholders and innovative process implementation underpinned Velodyne LiDAR's ramp-up of sensor manufacturing. This role honed my skills in optimizing supply chains to support high-volume manufacturing and future technology integrations. With over two decades of leadership in operations, supply chain management, and business transformation, I bring expertise in optimizing service companies, modernizing legacy processes, and achieving operational excellence. I’ve led global supply chain operations, driven multimillion-dollar cost savings, and spearheaded growth initiatives that create measurable impact. As an advisor to innovative technology companies and businesses seeking a turnaround, I focus on crafting strategies that deliver sustainable success. Key Career Highlights: • Managed global supply chain operations with locations in Hong Kong, LA, Texas, Taiwan, and China, reducing supply chain costs by 23% while improving delivery timelines by 47%. • Directed operations during a period of 330% YOY growth, overseeing a mega-factory startup and robotics line installation that increased production capacity by 137%. • Expanded the global distribution network to include EU and German hubs, leading to a 22% growth in international sales and reducing lead times by 7% while driving down operational costs by 13% annually. • Relocated a $1B supply chain from Malaysia to China, resulting in 37% cost savings and a 78% increase in production capacity. Beyond my professional work, I enjoy high-performance driving as an instructor, mountain biking, and spending time managing my ranch.
