We believe in empowering our people to achieve the utmost success for them.
Diversity, Women's initiatives, and the implementation of a Manager Development Program are a few of the many reasons why this is the perfect time to join our culture.
FACT is an internal organization at SGS Maine Pointe dedicated to attracting, retaining, and growing female leaders within our firm. The intent is to create an ecosystem for women to grow, thrive, and achieve optimal success at all levels and leadership roles, now and in the future. We are focused on creating a culture that facilitates and empowers career growth of women in consulting and promotes diversity of thoughts, experiences and backgrounds to enhance the delivery outputs we provide to our clients.
What drew me to SGS Maine Pointe is the impressive client base combined with the diverse array of supply chain challenges we tackle. The opportunity to collaborate across multiple industries not only enhances my professional skills but also allows me to contribute to innovative solutions that drive real value. Being part of a team that thrives on tackling complex supply chain issues is exciting, and the chance to impact various sectors makes the experience even more rewarding. At SGS Maine Pointe, every day presents a new opportunity for growth and transformation, and I find that truly inspiring.
One of the most rewarding aspects of my day-to-day work is connecting with clients and serving as a trusted advisor. I thrive on leading, coaching, and collaborating with our core team and clients during the analysis and discovery phases. This ensures we accurately identify the value our clients need and set up engagements for success. This dynamic interplay of building relationships, delivering insights, and driving results is what energizes me every day.
I'm most proud of the transformative results and organizational alignment we achieve with our clients. Our ability to drive meaningful change and deliver exceptional value sets us apart and makes a real impact on their success.

Chris Eaves is a member of the Logistics Practice and has been with SGS Maine Pointe for only 8 months. Chris has over 25 years of Logistics and Supply Chain experience working for various companies; Target Corporation, McLane Corporation, Columbia Sportswear.
Chris joined his current Engagement after the analysis. He was the lead of the DC Operations Flow and Slotting Workstream.
The team of 4 people executed 22 DC site locations in 20 weeks improving the travel time, product flow and product efficiency by reslotting and physical layout changes within the buildings. Chris and team developed a repeatable process and training to the internal client teams while doing the work at once to drive sustainability with the client team members.
The client is very happy with performance and the reslotting and layout has shown a 12% improvement in productivity.
Of the 22 facilities that were reslotted the team has reduced the travel aisles for Class A, B, & C items from the original 315 aisles down to 198 (37%) improvement, reducing 117 aisles significantly reducing travel.
Congratulations again and special thanks to Chris for exemplifying our values, successfully supporting the charge on his first engagement and delivering Total Client Satisfaction.
Our Development Manager program allows employees to have a ‘go-to’ person and safe space for their questions beyond our traditional onboarding process. The objective of the program is to support and encourage the professional development of the individual.
Additionally, the Development Managers will facilitate our semi-annual and annual performance review process. This program is in place to create structure for professional development and deepen relationships among colleagues.
