Lesley Fraser

I’m a seasoned supply chain and manufacturing professional with over 25 years of experience in the automotive industry, specializing in material planning, inventory control, and production coordination. My career has been built on a foundation of hands-on technical expertise, including CNC machining and machine setup, combined with strategic leadership in high-volume, fast-paced environments.

I hold formal education in Logistics and Supply Chain Management (University of Waterloo) and Human Resources (Conestoga College), along with Microsoft Office training that supports data-driven decision-making and operational efficiency. My background includes senior roles in material planning and production supervision, as well as early career experience in office administration, reception, food service, and retail cashiering, giving me a well-rounded perspective on customer service, multitasking, and team collaboration.

Known for my reliability and crisis management skills, I’ve led teams through operational disruptions, stabilized supply chain flow, and restored production efficiency under pressure. I thrive in roles where strategic thinking meets practical execution, and I’m currently exploring new opportunities where I can make a meaningful impact by optimizing supply chain processes and supporting dynamic teams.
