Known for her hands-on leadership, Jodi consistently empowers her teams to achieve measurable business outcomes while fostering a culture of collaboration and accountability.

Before her tenure at IPEX, Jodi held several leadership roles at Lowe's Companies, Inc., including Senior Operations Manager and Administrative Supervisor.

Her achievements include increasing unit-per-hour output by 33 points within eight months, leading change management programs, and optimizing staffing and workflow processes-all while maintaining a strong focus on quality, safety, and employee engagement.

Through setbacks and successes, Jodi has learned to adapt, reflect, and lead with clarity, courage, and care-creating space for her teams to thrive.

The best career advice Jodi has received is simple yet powerful: ask all the questions you're thinking. Don't worry about appearances-focus on understanding your business thoroughly. For young women entering supply chain and operations, she emphasizes learning the business end-to-end, embracing data, understanding people, and gaining floor-level operational experience.“Credibility in this field comes from understanding the operation, not just managing reports,” she notes. She encourages finding your voice early, speaking with clarity and confidence, and choosing growth over comfort-even when roles are challenging, unconventional, or intimidating.

According to Jodi, the current supply chain landscape presents both challenges and opportunities. Labor availability, engagement, and retention require leaders to balance cost, performance, and team stability. Cost pressures demand efficiency without sacrificing safety or morale, while inventory volatility and forecast accuracy require tight cross-functional collaboration. Technology adoption, safety compliance, service expectations, and leadership development remain critical focus areas. By aligning teams around shared goals rather than individual functions, Jodi drives meaningful and sustainable outcomes.
