What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a fast-paced, collaborative environment where I can drive process improvement, strengthen compliance, and improve visibility across global operations—turning operational data into actionable insights while partnering closely with stakeholders.

I bring 15+ years of experience in business process management, optimization, and streamlining, with deep experience handling domestic and international supply chain complexity and supplier development. I’m known for building strong stakeholder relationships fast, using rigorous logic to resolve complex issues and ambiguity with actionable solutions.

In my roles, I’ve driven measurable outcomes—implementing an Order Lifecycle Dashboard that tracked purchase requisitions and generated $4B in annual revenue, cutting asset write-offs by $500,000 (99%) company-wide, and leveraging decommissioned inventory to reduce new equipment spend by an estimated $200,000 annually. I’ve also contributed to data center operations through point-of-contact management across 22 sites, supported data center infrastructure management systems, and strengthened PCI-DSS-aligned security programs through assessments, gap analyses, and threat/risk evaluations.
