Steve Spiegel

I have been an inventory/supply chain/ merchandise planning and purchasing executive for many years. My early career was spent on the industrial side sourcing products for refineries, chemical plants and mines. After a few years in sales, I have dedicated my last 20 years to Supply Chain and Merchandising including Merchandise Planning and Inventory Management. Recently, I have worked in China and India expanding my understanding of the interrelationship of East and West cultures and business philosophies. It also allowed me to view these two large economies developing their own consumer markets and internal country sourcing for their own consumption. My education is quite broad as I have a degree in Chemistry along with two masters degrees. One is in Marketing Management and the other is in Operations Management. My personal interests are golf, running and photography. My photography work has been recognized with several awards including 1st place in an international competition.
