I am the Supply Chain Manager for Indirect Sourcing at Schreiber Foods, Inc., a global leader in dairy manufacturing and processing, and based out of Green Bay, Wisconsin. I am responsible for oversight of all indirect supplies in the US which constitutes approximately $350M in annual spend,and collaborate with my counterparts in Europe and Mexico with contracting when applicable. I’ve been with Schreiber for 18 years total, the first 9 years I lead the Corporate Office Facilities Management team. I enjoy working with such a variety of categories and helping my stakeholders succeed in their projects by partnering with strategic suppliers while minimizing costs. Outside of work, I enjoy camping throughout Wisconsin, bicycling, and volunteering with my 3 children at a local thrift store.
Day 2: Tuesday September 30, 2025
9:10 AM Presentation: Cracking the MRO Challenge: How AI Turns Complexity Into Measurable Savings
MRO procurement is one of the most overlooked sources of savings in manufacturing - and also one of the hardest to tackle. With thousands of parts across multiple sites, each with its own operational requirements, influencing change can feel like pushing against a wall. ERP data is messy, suppliers are duplicated, and pricing varies widely - often without clear visibility. In this session, we'll look at how leading manufacturers are using AI and structured data to give procurement teams the insight they need to challenge status quo purchasing, consolidate suppliers, and increase compliance on indirect spend. I'll share real-world examples of turning fragmented, complex data into measurable savings and sustainable change.
