About

Franchelle ValentineLets connect on LinkedIn.

As an accomplished, forward-thinking Supply Chain & Sourcing Leader with 21 years of progressive leadership, I specialize in transforming category management organizations, optimizing multi-million dollar spend portfolios, and deploying advanced supply chain analytics to drive gross margin expansion. My expertise spans the entire end-to-end supply chain—from raw materials and production to global logistics, distribution, and strict quality assurance.

Currently, I serve as the General Manager of Supply Chain Management in Atlanta, GA. In this leadership role, I own the upstream commercial supplier base and manage a massive annual spend portfolio of $320 million. I serve as the principal table negotiator for high-value commercial contracts, MSAs, and licensing programs, while leading cross-functional alignment across Executive, Revenue, Sales, and Finance teams to protect brand margins and reduce landed COGS. Across my career, I have a proven track record of delivering immense financial efficiency, including generating $11M in savings and mitigation in 2024 alone, through large-scale RFP execution, and scaling a 'For Sale' food program to achieve highly profitable annual revenue.

Prior to joining Delta, I held senior management roles within the quick-service restaurant (QSR) sector, including serving as the Senior Director of Procurement for The Krystal Company and governing international supply chain operations for major brands like Planet Smoothie and Captain D's. Through these roles, I successfully directed multi-million dollar spend strategies across hundreds of franchise and corporate locations, optimized distribution footprints, and pioneered automated processes that slashed obsolete inventory by over 20%.

I am a strategic and servant leader dedicated to driving innovation, financial efficiency, and scalable growth in fast-paced, high-growth corporate environments. Whether leading massive supply chain transformations or spearheading corporate sustainability initiatives, I am committed to streamlining operations and delivering impactful bottom-line results that contribute to organizational success.
