Denyse Julien

Prior to joining Cranfield, Denyse worked at Nestle. Her initial position was in the Corporate Quality Management Group in the Head Office in Switzerland, and subsequently on the GLOBE team based in Australia. She worked with internal stakeholders to refresh the global approach to supplier management to guarantee the quality of the products at the time of use. Part of her mandate was also to re-visit the global approach to managing traceability across the supply chain. Denyse was the project leader for the project involved in the selection and appointment of two third party auditing companies for use with Nestle suppliers globally. As part of the GLOBE team Denyse was involved in the implementation of best practices in the area of Materials Handling, and warehouse management throughout the Nestle Asia, Africa and Oceania operations.

Denyse has lived in Trinidad, USA, U.K., Germany, Switzerland and Australia. In addition, in her previous roles she worked with teams to implement best practices across a very wide range of countries including Pakistan, India, Japan, South Africa, Indonesia and Singapore. This has provided Denyse with first-hand experience of the differences in operations and cultures and the subsequent challenges to managers.

Current activities

Denyse is the Course Director for both the Logistics and Supply Chain Management and the Procurement and Supply Chain full-time MSc programmes.  The two courses provide the students with the specialist knowledge and skills that they need to further their career as a supply chain professional.  As the Course Director - Denyse plays a crucial role in ensuring that the course is relevant and delivers impact for our students and their organisations.  These are demanding courses for the participants but delivers on our goal of transforming knowledge into action.

Denyse recently completed a major project to dramatically improve the food supply chain to meet the rising global demand for food and to protect the environment - Step Change in Agri-Food Logistics Eco-Systems "Project SCALE" which was a 3 year research project on which Cranfield School of Management was the lead partner working along with 4 partner organisations: the European Food and Farming Partnerships (EFFP), DHL, Wageningen University and the Universite d''Artois.
