Hired under the Young Talent Initiative, a fast track program aimed at training and developing selected employees to ascend to critical leadership roles, he experienced or was exposed to many aspects of global supply chain design and operation, from product development, to global strategic sourcing, product certification, quality, manufacturing, and delivery. This experience further honed his capacity to work on multifunctional teams from his earlier years with the Air Force and his ability to bring a systemic view to planning and decision-making. It also further sparked his interest on innovation and improvement.
He has received various awards and recognitions on research, teaching, and service, from the Academy of Management, Journal of Supply Chain Management, and the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals – Minneapolis Chapter, among others.
