Helm has been the Supply Chain Leader in Champaign for the past six years. She was the first person hired in the location and was instrumental in the start-up of the complex operation. “Tabatha’s commitment to the success of DSC/CJ and our customer shows in everything the site has accomplished over the past six years,” said Steve Zaayer, Operations Leader, in nominating Helm for the award. “She keeps her finger on the pulse of our site, makes herself available anytime an employee needs to reach out, and has taught me and many others so much over the years.”
A high volume high-performing operation, the Champaign facility is often used as a test site for innovation. “Each year we are challenged to perform in different ways and Tabatha welcomes the challenge,” Zaayer said. “She has built a strong team around her and sees that we have the tools necessary to be successful.”
