Background

About Stephanie Tait

I’m a strategic supply chain professional with an SCMP designation, focusing on building smarter, more resilient systems for material flow, risk management, and production support. With over 14 years of experience across planning, procurement, and supplier strategy, I bring both tactical execution and big-picture thinking. I look beyond cost and lead time to understand how supply decisions impact flexibility, efficiency, and long-term business performance. I’m currently leading an internal AI pilot focused on procurement forecasting, exploring how prompt engineering and intelligent agent tools can support faster and more informed decisions. While the initial scope focuses on raw materials, the longer-term goal is to assess how this technology can enhance production planning and improve broader supply chain visibility. Outside of work, I’m building a portfolio of AI-driven side ventures with a small team, applying automation and strategic tooling to rethink how small businesses operate. These projects are still early-stage but grounded in long-term value creation, much like the way I approach supply chain. Whether I’m sourcing steel or testing new digital infrastructure, I work with precision, transparency, and forward-thinking intent.
