About Rick Laih

Globally minded supply chain professional with hands-on procurement experience across North America, Europe, and Asia, I specialize in transforming complexity into clarity. From sourcing semiconductor components to mapping international supply chains for market expansion, I bring a data-driven approach to solving real-world operational challenges. Currently pursuing my Master’s in Supply Chain Management at Case Western Reserve University, I’m passionate about integrating AI into traditional supply chain functions. Whether it's developing an AI-powered chatbot to reduce invoice errors or using Python and Tableau to uncover process inefficiencies, I constantly seek to merge technical innovation with operational excellence. My mission is to redefine how companies think about global sourcing, supplier management, and the next-generation supply chain. Let’s connect if you’re building the future of supply chain, or just curious how AI can unlock efficiency at scale.
