R.J. Romano

As a member of the strategy & operations team, I’m focused on supporting and growing our supply chain advisory practice while delivering enhanced supply chain and operations-focused solutions.

Clients appreciate my comprehensive experience and supply chain background across all disciplines — strategy, procurement, planning, manufacturing, distribution, and transportation and logistics — not only as a consultant, but also as an industry professional.

With more than 20 years in the supply chain industry, my accomplishments include setting up manufacturing plants internationally and receiving recognition for developing and implementing customized supply chain strategies. I was attracted to this role at Plante Moran because of the team culture and the opportunity to support a growing firm and practice.

I belong to the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) and National Association of Manufacturers (NAM). I graduated from Duquesne University with a degree in supply chain management. I’ve received Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and Green Belt certifications and am a Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP). I’ve also earned a Supply Chain Network Modeling Certification from AnyLogistix.

I’m often invited to speak at various events, industry conferences, and webinars on subjects related to supply chain and the current challenges companies are facing. Additionally, I’m frequently quoted in publications focused on various supply chain topics.

Outside the office, I enjoy playing golf, watching college football, and traveling internationally.
