Vice President and Chief Supply Chain Officer

Burton Fuller joined the Johns Hopkins Health System in 2019 as vice president and chief supply chain officer. He leads supply chain activities across the life cycle of sourcing, contracting, procurement, logistics and distribution for the network of hospitals, surgery centers and clinics across Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Florida. This is anchored by a 165,000-square-foot consolidated services center, where a self-distribution model supports the health system’s demand for medical supplies.

Previously, Fuller worked at Deloitte Consulting, where was involved in operations improvement projects that transformed the supply chains of large, well-regarded academic medical centers and regional and multistate health systems. These transformations provided deep expertise in large-scale expense reduction measures, post-merger integrations, technology optimization, process and operational improvements.

Fuller also led engagements supporting the business and market strategies of life science and medical device manufacturers, enabling a unique perspective when navigating manufacturer and group purchasing organization relationships for hospitals. Through this work, Fuller championed supply chain’s role in achieving the strategic vision of the executive teams he served.

Burton earned a bachelor’s degree at the College of William & Mary, where he studied finance and biology before starting his career at Navigant Consulting.
