· Engage with MQ stakeholders to understand and influence broad business strategies in the context of information technology as a key enabler and differentiator

Sherry started her Lilly career supporting the Elanco sales reps of the Animal Health division. She them moved into the Manufacturing operations team supporting Supply Chain and ERP systems for over ten years. Sherry was the Design Lead when Lilly implemented SAP APO and Demand Planning. She then held multiple leadership roles within the SAP (GBIP) organization. As Supply Chain team leader and then COE Leader, Sherry supported supply chain solutions, led project delivery, application conversions, and influenced the future state IT architecture. In 2006, she moved to Elanco as the sole manufacturing and supply chain IT consultant. Sherry has been a key player in many projects supporting Elanco manufacturing (and Regulatory) over the years, most recently as the MQIT architect for the TSMS, HSE, Supply Chain and External manufacturing organizations. Her past experiences make Sherry uniquely qualified for this new role.
Sherry will continue to report to myself in her new role. We will work through balancing Sherry’s current work as we build out our IT organization with the recent independent Elanco decision.
Please join me in congratulating Sherry in her new role.
