Schneider Electric, a leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, has appointed Tina Hu as the new VP, Global Supply Chain and Customer Experience for Pacific Zone.

As a key member of the executive team, Tina will be responsible for leading the Global Supply Chain and Customer Experience division in the Pacific – including logistics and manufacturing plants – while helping the team deliver on a range of strategic objectives.  

“I am thrilled to be joining the team at Schneider Electric and building on the strategies already in place to continue growing the function. The sector has been demanding over the past few years and we are seeing many within the industry suffer from burnout. As a result, my first priority will be looking at ways to streamline processes and ensure teams are working smarter not harder,” said Tina. 

Tina joins Schneider Electric from Kimberly Clark where she held the role of Director of Supply Chain and Manufacturing for ANZ. She previously led teams at some of the world’s largest companies including Gartner, Unilever, and Goodyear.

“I’m looking forward to being able to mix hands-on work with high level strategic thinking to ensure we are delivering the most effective solutions for our customers and adding greater value with every project,” added Tina. 

After working with a range of team members from Schneider Electric during her previous roles, Tina noted that she was attracted to the company’s inclusive culture as well as its emerging young talent and women in leadership. 

Pacific Zone President Gareth O’Reilly said, “We’re delighted to welcome Tina to our Schneider executive team. Her wealth of experience and depth of knowledge made her the ideal candidate. I also look forward to seeing her drive our new team towards success in a new era, as we navigate and surmount the recent added complexities within the supply chain sector.”
