What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role that leverages my expertise in optimizing logistics processes and vendor relationships to drive cost savings and operational efficiency.

As a seasoned supply chain executive with over a decade of experience, I specialize in optimizing logistics processes, managing vendor relationships, and implementing cost-saving initiatives. My career has been marked by significant achievements, including negotiating multi-million-dollar contracts and improving on-time delivery rates.

In my current role as Director of Supply at Kitchen Tune-Up and Bath Tune-Up, I have developed and implemented comprehensive supply chain strategies that have enhanced efficiency and reduced costs. I lead cross-functional teams to continuously improve processes and systems, establishing performance metrics to measure supply chain effectiveness.

Previously, as a Subcontract Manager at L3 Harris and Lockheed Martin, I managed high-risk subcontracts, led multifunctional teams, and negotiated complex agreements. My expertise extends to drafting and negotiating various types of contracts, monitoring financials, and ensuring compliance with regulations such as FAR, DFARS, and ITAR.
