Prior to this role he was Vice President of Warehouse Distribution for Cardinal Health, a global distributor of pharmaceuticals and medical products, with operations in more than 30 countries. In the six years he was in this role he grew his knowledge base of supply chain within healthcare distribution, private fleet transportation, DC optimization, safety, inventory management, customer service and regulatory services.
“I am excited to bring my experiences to the ORS Nasco and MEDCO businesses to continue building upon the culture of safety and continuous improvement. Because the ORS Nasco and MEDCO businesses have previously operated on independent systems, we have not been able to leverage common platforms for supplier interactions, inventory sharing, customer solutions and standardized internal practices. There is significant benefit for our customers by us improving our processes, and commercial capabilities,” said Shane McCarthy, COO of ORS Nasco and MEDCO. “I am looking forward to helping unleash the knowledge sharing across the organization, helping individual leaders grow and have greater impact on the customer experience and accelerate the overall capabilities of our supply chain teams.”
