We don't just advise

We've done the job

And that changes everything about the advice you get

About Kevin Cerullo

I'm a supply chain and operations consultant with 16+ years of international experience across automotive, energy, power, and maritime sectors. Across my career I've delivered over $30M in measurable cost and working capital impact — not as a number on a slide, but through hands-on operational work in real companies under real pressure.

At Methode Electronics Malta I ran the operational spine of a high-volume electronics manufacturer — planning, procurement, materials management, ERP, and constraint resolution across 5,000+ SKUs — delivering $21M in cost and working capital savings and improving forecast accuracy by 12 points. When I left, they asked me to stay on as a consultant.

At Grakon Europe I was brought in as a consultant during COVID-19 to simultaneously lead an ERP migration from QAD to Epicor, nearshore an entire manufacturing plant from China to Egypt, and personally manage customer recovery for major trucking OEM accounts — all while maintaining 97% OTIF and releasing $11M in working capital. I founded Fourth Echelon because the best operational advice comes from people who have been inside broken systems, owned the outcome, and fixed it under pressure.

$30M+ delivered | Across four companies | Five countries | One consultant
