Shannon Oldham

In my current role as a Senior Global Materials Manager, I lead a large, diverse team across multiple manufacturing sites and distribution centers, driving alignment, efficiency, and visibility across the global supply chain. I have successfully enhanced forecast accuracy by 22%, reduced global inventory by 15 days within a year, and improved on‑time customer commitment to 91% during a period of significant sales growth. My approach blends data‑driven decision making with strong cross‑functional collaboration, ensuring that inventory, procurement, planning, and manufacturing stay tightly integrated and responsive to changing business needs.

Across previous leadership roles, I have consistently delivered improvements in inventory health, ERP accuracy, warehouse and planning operations, and supply chain standardization. At FlowServe and NOV, I led initiatives ranging from production planning optimization to barcoding implementation, excess and obsolete reduction, and multi‑plant inventory entitlement analysis. At Baker Hughes, I was instrumental in launching a new manufacturing facility—developing material strategy, negotiating $40 million in contracts, and integrating advanced automation with ERP systems.

What sets me apart is my ability to combine strategic vision with hands‑on execution. I excel at building cohesive teams, simplifying complex processes, and implementing scalable systems that support long‑term operational excellence. Whether driving SIOP processes, leading IT‑related projects, or guiding organizational change, I am committed to delivering reliable outcomes that strengthen performance, reduce costs, and support customer satisfaction.
