Welcome to the inaugural post of the SSCE Insights Blog—a space dedicated to helping small and mid-size organizations strengthen their supply chains with clarity, strategy, and operational discipline.
Launching this blog represents more than a business milestone—it marks the start of a new chapter in my career. After more than 30 years leading global supply chain organizations, I founded Strategic Supply Chain Excellence Corp. (SSCE) to bring practical, executive-level expertise to companies that need it most.
Why This Blog Exists
Supply chains today are more complex, dynamic, and interconnected than ever. Small and mid-sized businesses feel these pressures the most—yet often have the least capacity to diagnose issues or initiate transformation.
Here, you can expect:
- Practical, actionable supply chain strategies
- Insights drawn from three decades in executive-level global operations
- Tools to identify inefficiencies and operational risk
- Clear frameworks for improving flow, performance, and resilience
- Guidance designed specifically for growing Canadian businesses
This blog exists to bridge that gap.
My goal is simple: make high-value supply chain expertise accessible, applicable, and immediately usable.
A New Chapter, Rooted in Experience
My 30-year career was filled with transformation, global complexity, and cross-functional leadership. But it also came with hard lessons. I learned the consequences of misaligned priorities, of putting work above health, and the reality that careers—even long, successful ones—can change overnight.
Being laid off after three decades became the catalyst for building something new—something aligned with my values, my purpose, and the kind of impact I want to make going forward.
SSCE is built on that foundation:
experience, integrity, operational discipline, and a commitment to helping organizations excel through their supply chains.
Who This Blog Is For
If you lead a small or mid-size company and are facing:
- Persistent operational inefficiencies

You are exactly who SSCE was created to support.
My mission is to help organizations unlock the full potential of their supply chains by integrating Lean Six Sigma principles, improving end-to-end value chain performance, and designing practical transformation strategies that work in real environments.
