Years Experience
Gino Gatmaitan
Supply chain problems at this level are rarely simple. I’ve spent 20 years untangling the ones that keep executives up at night.
- Reduce supply chain cost and lead times without sacrificing quality.
- Fix inventory accuracy, planning, and purchasing so teams stop
ordering the wrong items. - Hold suppliers and 3PLs accountable with KPIs, SLAs, and rhythm.

I've led supply chain and operations at Samsung, Harbor Freight, and Henkel. When executives need someone who's been in the seat — they call me.
Supply chain problems at this level are rarely simple. I’ve spent 20 years untangling the ones that keep executives up at night.
Does any of this sound familiar?
- Inventory numbers you can't trust — and excess stock tying up cash that should be working harder elsewhere.
- A procurement function that's reactive instead of strategic — buying to put out fires rather than driving cost and supplier leverage.
- A 3PL that can't keep pace with demand — missed shipments, inconsistent service, and fees that keep climbing with no clear justification.
- Supplier issues that should be handled at the operational level but keep escalating to your desk — and costing you in delays and chargebacks.
- Operations running on workarounds and tribal knowledge instead of clean processes — and the hidden costs that come with it.
- Manual, repetitive workflows with no lean discipline — your team spending time on tasks that should either be streamlined or automated entirely.
I work directly with executives to solve exactly these problems. No junior consultants, no slide decks without follow-through. Just experienced hands on your operation.

The Supply Chain Problems I Fix Fast
If your team is stuck firefighting, I help you regain control and build processes that scale.
Customer ship dates keep slipping, and expediting is the norm.
Inventory data isn’t trusted, so planning and buying miss.
3PL performance is unclear:
no SLAs, no scorecards, no leverage.
Freight and fulfillment costs creep
up with little visibility.
Supplier quality issues and block
stock are clogging your flow.
ERP/WMS data is messy, so teams
live in spreadsheets.
WHAT I DO
End-to-end expertise. Hands-on execution.
Every engagement is tailored to where your operation is today and where it needs to go. I work directly with your team — from the shop floor to the boardroom — to diagnose, fix, and build for the long term.

Process
How It Works
Assess
We start with a fast, fact-based baseline: data pull, stakeholder interviews, and a walkthrough of how orders, inventory, and exceptions really move. You’ll get clarity on what’s broken and what matters most.
Current-state map, KPI baseline, issue list, quick-win shortlist
Align
We prioritize fixes by impact and effort, then design the operating rhythm that keeps performance visible. I turn the plan into owners, timing, and decision gates so your team can execute cleanly.
Current-state map, KPI baseline, issue list, quick-win shortlist
Execute
I lead execution with your team and partners: suppliers, 3PLs, carriers, and systems vendors. We lock in standard work, train teams, and put controls in place so results stick after I step back.
Implemented quick wins, updated SOPs, scorecards/SLAs, training plan

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Most work is either a short diagnostic sprint (2 to 4 weeks) or a fractional retainer (3 to 6+ months).
We’ll match the scope to your urgency, bandwidth, and desired outcomes.
Both. Many projects start remote with data and working sessions, then shift on-site for warehouse and process work when needed. I’m Los Angeles-based and can travel for key milestones.
Procurement, planning, inventory, warehousing, 3PL/logistics, and operating cadence (KPIs, reviews, governance). I also support ERP/WMS programs and vendor performance management.
You’ll typically see early wins in the first 30 days once we baseline KPIs and remove the biggest bottlenecks. Bigger changes like systems and network shifts follow a phased plan so service stays stable.
Yes. I prefer improving what you already have first: clear SLAs, scorecards, weekly reviews, and accountability. If a change is needed, we’ll run a structured selection and transition.
Yes. I’ve led ERP implementations and WMS rollouts, with a focus on clean master data, processes that match how you operate, and reporting leadership can actually use.
I keep client specifics private by default. If you need references or deeper detail, we can share anonymized outcomes and arrange reference calls when appropriate.
A short kickoff to align goals plus basic exports: orders, inventory, SKUs, PO history, and your current KPIs. I’ll send a simple checklist and we can start within days once access is set.
