Neil Christian

I turn complex supply-chain, systems and AI programs into change people actually adopt, and prove it in the numbers.

Director-level transformation & implementation leadership, supply chain, enterprise systems, applied AI.

Profile

Transformation and operational-excellence leader accountable for outcomes, not milestones. 12 years combining continuous improvement and program delivery into measurable financial results across supply chain, warehousing, transport and enterprise systems.

Full P&L ownership of a $75M operation proved line credibility; I chose delivery and strategy. I build the transformation capability, not just the projects: portfolio governance, initiative pipelines, ELT investment cases, CI standards and the coaching that makes gains hold.

Equally credible on a warehouse floor, in a systems design review and in front of a global C-suite.
