In the spotlight

What attracted you to SGS Maine Pointe?

While working as a Supply Chain Manager at a steel mill, I used the SGS Maine Pointe white papers and resources to prepare for my logistics sourcing events. When I transitioned to consulting,  I wanted to be part of this organization and help other professionals procure smarter. I love being part of this organization that brings great teams and expertise to each client, meets them where they are, and helps them to improve their organizations. 

What part of your day-to-day work do you most look forward to?

I love getting to know our clients, both personally and professionally. Every project brings a new opportunity to meet and get to know new people. Helping them grow professionally and improve their organization is one of the most gratifying experiences in my professional life. 

What are you most proud of at SGS Maine Pointe?

I am so proud of our teams and how far we go to help our clients and bring benefits to their organizations. We get in the trenches with them, work with them to overcome their obstacles, and cheer on their successes. When we step away, they are equipped and ready to drive success in the future. 

What keeps you busy outside of your professional life?

My husband and four dogs find new and exciting ways to keep me busy all the time. When not spending time with them, I am an avid crafter. I love to knit, quilt, and sew.

Delivery Star for March

 

Congratulations to Matt Desantis, our March Delivery Star winner!  Matt is a member of the Data Analytics team and has been with SGS Maine Pointe for only 5 months. Matt began his career in Optimization & Planning and Global Logistics before recently earning his MBA from Wake Forest University.

Matt’s selection as our March winner is in recognition of his role as a key team member for the one of our most recent Analyses.  The Analysis presented an opportunity for SGS Maine Pointe to not only serve a new manufacturing client but also to serve a new private equity firm. The scope of the Analysis focused on direct material procurement across key categories for multiple business units.

Matt quickly earned the role of trusted advisor with our primary contact, the Vice President of Supply Chain.  In fact, at the end of the first week of the Analysis our primary client contact commented emphatically to the Analysis leadership team that he was astounded at how quickly Matt was able to understand their business.  Such high praise was repeated more than once by the VP of Supply Chain.

With Matt’s support, the Analysis team was able to identify savings opportunity in the range of $3.5M to $5.9M.  Matt and the team are looking forward to delivering on a successful Engagement.  Lastly, anyone who has spent time with Matt enjoys learning about his intellectual curiosity and command of a great many wide-ranging subjects.

Congratulations again and special thanks to Matt for exemplifying our values, successfully supporting the charge on his first Analysis, and delivering Total Client Satisfaction.

Development Manager Program

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.

"A mentor is someone who sees more talent and ability within you, than you see in yourself, and helps bring it out of you."
