Is your S&OP not delivering the expected results? Do your planning meetings feel more like reporting sessions than actual decision-making? This is a common issue I encounter – and one I know how to solve.

With over 20 years of experience in supply chain planning and numerous successful S&OP/IBP transformations, I help companies build planning processes that drive real business decisions – not bureaucracy or administrative tracking.

I held planning leadership roles at P&G, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Columbia Sportswear, and BOBST before moving into consulting (EyeOn). This dual experience gives me a practical understanding of what makes an S&OP/IBP transformation succeed – or fail. My approach is pragmatic and incremental: we start with your strategic challenges, build in stages, and ensure each evolution is adopted by the teams before moving to the next.

What I bring you concretely:

• Design or redesign of your S&OP/IBP, Demand Planning, and Supply Planning processes

• Definition of your supply chain Target Operating Model – processes, organization, tools

• Planning maturity assessment, identification of bottlenecks, and a pragmatic roadmap

• Implementation of planning tools (APS, Anaplan) – functional scoping, not technical

• Management of transformation programs or targeted projects

• Training, coaching, and change management for business teams

• Governance models, roles & responsibilities, decision frameworks

• Harmonization of planning processes across markets, regions, or business units

Sectors of experience: FMCG, pharmaceutical industry, industrial equipment, consumer goods, luxury goods.

If these topics resonate with your needs, I would be delighted to discuss the best way to collaborate.
