About
I am very honored to be in part of the inaugral team of facilitators for the World Academy of Women located at SIAS University in Xengzheng, Henan China.
Please check out my weekly posts at my blog site: www.myinternalGPS.com.
I am passionate about helping businesses and individuals navigate their way to success more quickly with less stress. I have been a leader in multiple fortune 100 & 500 companies and worked with suppliers across many cultures. My passion to help others succeed led me to create internalGPS.
I spent the last 22 years navigating several large corporate cultures. I successfully moved up from an individual contributor to the Director of Strategic Sourcing at Medtronic with staff located across multiple states and an annual spend responsibility of over $400M. I also led the creation of the Supply Chain organization in Puerto Rico for Medtronic. At United Technologies Hamilton Standard I was part of a unique self-directed team that established a start-up “Greenfield” manufacturing facility. I have also held various individual and leadership positions in Sourcing, Supply Chain, and Manufacturing Operations at Honeywell and Motorola.
I volunteer as the Director of Great Minds for the Alliance of Technology and Women, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering women in technology, increasing the number of women in executive roles and encouraging women and girls to enter technology fields. I am also on the curriculum advisory board for the ITT Technical Institute.
