Bio
Irina Borin
I worked with Cedric on a very successful client engagement that had a pretty rocky start. I believe that one of the reason we were able to turn that engagement around was because of Cedric's persistence, client focus, and ability to pivot when obstacles where presented. The internal team saw Cedric as a leader and the client saw Cedric as a partner. I really valued Cedric's work ethic and accountability to not just get things done, but to make sure that the client is comfortable with the concepts.

I had the opportunity to work with Cedric on a very successful Consulting engagement at INSIGHT2PROFIT. Over the course of several months, we were faced with significant challenges & Cedric helped take the lead on resolving many of them. His passion, determination, & work ethic were critical in helping drive impact at the client.

Cedric and I worked together directly on an important client engagement. At the time, there were challenges within the client business and we needed to quickly demonstrate our ability to deliver tangible incremental value to the client's bottom line. Cedric stepped up to take primary ownership of one of their strategically important lines of business, managed out of Europe. He was successful in establishing a strong rapport with that business leader and driving meaningful and positive change in that part of the business. I appreciated his efforts in doing so. To this day, the client continues to benefit from the work that we were able to execute and implement.

Feb 2018 - Apr 2020
INSIGHT2PROFIT combines technology and expertise to deliver sustainable growth to companies through the implementation and management of pricing and profit strategies. During the past 2 years, I played an integral role in 3 specific projects, backed by private equity firms, that resulted in the following:- Led a $2M pricing impact EBITDA gain to neutralize Chinese tariffs by optimizing pricing structure across 3 subsidiaries of an aftermarket automobile part distributor ($150M). - Implemented strategic product positioning that created a $2M price impact gain to the $100M French subsidiary by developing and role-playing talking points for each strategic customer. - Reduced inventory by $6M (15%) of a $100M global medical device manufacturer by identifying and implementing weekly reviews (US-France-Slovakia-Israel-India) of slow-moving and obsolete inventory. Additionally, I designed and implemented KPI dashboards for continuous improvement of purchasing, safety stock, and Days of Supply (DOS).
