Claudia Knowlton-Chike

Dana is an outstanding supply chain leader who possesses broad experience and in-depth understanding of the global business environment. Having worked with Dana at GE Healthcare, Nexeo and Emerald Materials, I can attest to the great energy, leadership and results Dana brings to every job. Her military background, her people skills and her strong work ethic make her a stand-out leader. Dana collaborates across functions extensively, works hands on with the supply chain team and is willing to make the tough decisions when needed. I enthusiastically recommend Dana. She is someone I would always want on my team.

Jim Smith

I would highly recommend Dana. She is an extremely motivated, results oriented, self-starter, who successfully drove numerous projects related to Variable Cost Productivity, simplification, supplier assessment/performance during her time with GEHC Logistics. Dana proactively volunteered to expand her scope of work to benefit the overall team through data analytics, automating manual tasks, and supplier operating mechanisms. In addition to driving quantifiable results, Dana was able to gain/maintain the respect of internal & external stakeholders through a collaborative approach. Her enthusiasm and passion for any project/task she takes on, along with very strong intangibles/interpersonal skills make Dana a great asset for any team, whether as a team member or in a Leadership position.
