Juan Vanegas

I'm a senior executive with over 20 years of experience leading global supply chain, procurement, and operations strategy across complex, asset-heavy industries such as manufacturing, energy, and construction materials. I help businesses scale efficiently, reduce costs, and improve resilience by turning supply chains into strategic growth enablers.

Throughout my career, I’ve led transformative initiatives across North and Latin America — including post-merger integrations, multi-million-dollar procurement strategies, logistics network redesigns, and full S&OP implementations. From the boardroom to the warehouse floor, I bridge high-level strategy with operational execution to unlock tangible business value.

As former SVP of Supply Chain & Operations at a $2B+ publicly traded company, I managed teams across procurement, logistics, inventory, terminals, customer service, and planning. My leadership delivered tens of millions in savings, improved service levels, and enabled agile responses to global disruptions. I’ve also negotiated strategic supplier agreements, developed nearshoring strategies, and led ERP transformations including SAP, Alteryx, and DemandWorks integrations.

Now, I work with businesses on a fractional, advisory, or project basis to address mission-critical supply chain challenges. My specialties include:

• Procurement Strategy & Global Sourcing
• S&OP / Demand Planning
• Logistics & Distribution Optimization
• M&A Integration & Post-Acquisition Synergies
• Inventory Management & Working Capital Reduction
• ERP and Data Tools Implementation (SAP, Alteryx, DemandWorks)

Clients turn to me when they’re scaling fast, facing cost pressures, entering new markets, or needing senior-level supply chain expertise without a full-time executive hire.

I offer a unique mix of strategic vision, financial discipline, and cross-cultural leadership — with the ability to operate in both English and Spanish. Whether you need a short-term transformation partner or long-term advisory support, I can step in quickly and deliver results.
