At WEEE! INC, I lead strategic sourcing and logistics across a $75M+ annual spend portfolio, including transportation, packaging, and fulfillment. Since 2022, I’ve delivered $12M+ in savings, with $8M+ now annualized.

I’ve developed packaging and supplier strategies that lowered packaging spend by 30% and generated $1M in annual savings through new cold-weather insulation solutions. I also reduced middle-mile transportation spend by 10%+ by renegotiating contracts and restructuring lane pricing.

Earlier, I established packaging supply chains for e-commerce fulfillment and implemented supply chain solutions at FEDEX LOGISTICS - FEDEX TRADE NETWORKS. At CDK GLOBAL INDIA, I implemented CDK Drive across 30+ North American dealerships and helped automate 30% of the installation process.
