McDonald will focus on optimizing the company’s end-to-end supply chain and finding new ways to collaborate with both suppliers and customers to reduce cost, improve efficiency, and generate value while driving profitable growth for the company. This focus on operational excellence will be key to making IWCO Direct’s Supply Chain program an even stronger driver of competitive advantage for clients. McDonald’s more than 20 years of experience successfully implementing best practices in contract activities, supplier performance and risk management, and enterprise logistics and transportation make him well suited for this role.
