Chapter Webinar

ISM-San Fernando Valley: Supply Chain & Procurement Career Path Series- Patricia Lee

Supply Chain & Procurement Career Path – Session 1 

We are excited to kick off Session 1 of our Supply Chain & Procurement Career Path series featuring Patricia Lee, Founder of Coffee Break Supply Chain.

This session launches a new series designed to highlight the many pathways into supply chain and procurement careers. The goal is to showcase how professionals at all stages can enter, pivot into, or grow within the field, while understanding the range of roles, industries, and career trajectories that exist across the profession.

Patricia Lee brings a rare combination of policy and operational expertise across global supply chains. She previously served as a director at a bipartisan lobbying organization founded by Mark Zuckerberg and other technology leaders. Her background also includes Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certification and hands-on experience spanning e-commerce, transportation, and aerospace supply chain operations.

She holds a bachelor’s degree from Dartmouth College, a Master of Science in Global Supply Chain Management jointly from USC Marshall School of Business and Viterbi School of Engineering, and an Executive MBA with distinction from the University of Oxford.

This session will explore real-world pathways into supply chain and procurement, key skills that matter most, and how professionals can position themselves for long-term growth in the field.
