In this episode, we sit down with Kelly Beecher, a leader in supply chain and the VP of Operations at Reduce, to explore the intersection of technical discipline and global leadership. Kelly shares how her background as a licensed customs broker and former internal auditor allows her to identify "red flag" process gaps and utilize "tariff engineering" to optimize duty rates through strategic product design. From managing high-stakes biotech "million-dollar molecules" to overseeing the unprecedented growth of stainless steel drinkware, she emphasizes that documentation and change control are non-negotiable for scalability.

Beyond the spreadsheets, Kelly reflects on the endurance required for both triathlons and leadership, her upcoming move to China with her young family, and the essential reminder that you must own your career path more thoughtfully than anyone else
