What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role to drive digital supply chain transformation, champion innovation and cross‑functional collaboration, integrate systems (SAP/Power BI), and deliver measurable efficiency gains and cost savings in safety‑sensitive industries.

I am a visionary supply chain leader with over a decade of experience improving operations, productivity, and safety across high‑safety and high‑volume industries.

I have led AI integrations that projected over $2M in annual transportation savings. I directed greenfield site development and warehouse acquisition that delivered $1M in annual savings.

I combine technical expertise in SAP S/4HANA, SAP IBP, Power BI, Oracle and advanced Excel with Lean Six Sigma methodology to drive measurable improvements, including uncovering $400K in annual charge recoveries and saving 1,200 hours per year through process standardization.

I am looking to lead digital supply chain transformation by fostering innovation, building cross‑functional teams, and integrating long‑term systems to deliver resilient, compliant, and cost‑efficient operations.
