Jason Snaggs

Supply Chain Superintendent

De Beers Group

I lead global operations across manufacturing, supply chain, logistics, and technology environments—where execution, scale, and performance are non-negotiable.

Over 20+ years, I’ve operated across North America, Mexico, Europe, and Central Asia in senior leadership roles spanning global manufacturing (Celestica), advanced hardware operations (Meta), mining (De Beers), and enterprise leadership (CEO, Yellowknives Dene First Nation).

  • $8.5M+ annual cost reduction through operational and logistics transformation

  • $2M+ savings delivered in Monterrey, Mexico through cross-border manufacturing and supply chain optimization

  • Global manufacturing and asset strategy across 20+ sites

  • $100M+ operating budgets and capital programs managed

  • Lean Six Sigma transformation across manufacturing, supply chain, and infrastructure environments

I have led operations across:

  • Manufacturing and industrial production systems

  • Global supply chain and logistics networks

  • Technology hardware and product operations (Meta Reality Labs)

  • Capital-intensive and regulated environments

Previously:

  • Strategy & Operations Manager (Acting Director), Meta Reality Labs

  • VP Operations & Business Development, International Telematics

  • Global Operations Leader, Celestica (20+ sites)

  • CEO, Yellowknives Dene First Nation

My focus is simple: Drive operational excellence across safety, quality, delivery, and cost—while building scalable systems and high-performance teams.

I am focused on VP / COO-track roles across operations, manufacturing, and supply chain where I can lead transformation at scale.
