What if the key to thriving in supply chain leadership is learning to speak every language in the business — and having the courage to rewrite the rules?

In this episode, we sit down with Sabrina Carr, Director of Integrated Business Planning (IBP) at The Clorox Company. From her upbringing in the US Virgin Islands to leading transformative planning initiatives at a Fortune 500 company, Sabrina shares a deeply personal and practical roadmap for success in supply chain leadership.

With a background in chemical engineering, Sabrina brings a sharp analytical mindset to her work — but what sets her apart is her ability to break down silos, build inclusive cultures, and tell powerful stories that drive action. We explore the value of IBP, the power of cross-functional communication, and how employee resource groups helped her become a more visible, purpose-driven leader.
