About Steve Nolan

Strategic Asset & Operations Leader with over a decade of experience transforming supply chains through innovation, automation, and measurable results. I specialize in delivering multi-million euro savings through data-driven strategy, lifecycle asset management, and smart tech integrations including GPS, RFID, and OCR. At Diageo, I’ve led global initiatives that saved over €4.5M annually by optimizing keg tracking, asset optimization, repair and fleet logistics. I implemented an OCR-based system that delivered 80% of RFID-quality data for just 5% of the cost - the first of its kind in the company. I also identified a €1.4M+ annual pallet efficiency opportunity and delivered fleet-wide GPS rollout across 200+ trailers. With experience managing €25M+ in assets across international markets, I bring a track record of cross-functional collaboration, engineering know-how, and relentless process improvement - from the warehouse floor to executive-level reporting. Whether it's scaling innovation, recovering lost assets, or reengineering logistics flows, I thrive in roles where complex problems meet bold solutions. Let’s connect, I’m always open to exploring new ideas, industry trends, or global logistics challenges.
