What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Account Manager with 8+ years of experience building and sustaining high-value client relationships in supply chain and logistics. I translate client needs into actionable strategies, lead cross-functional teams, and act as a trusted strategic partner to enterprise-level clients.
As Senior Account Manager at A.P. Moller - Maersk, I served as the primary strategic point of contact for The Home Depot, managing ocean and air logistics across global trade lanes. I oversaw exception management for approximately 8,000 containers annually, optimized a $4.8M+ annual transportation spend portfolio, and leveraged customized digital platforms and analytics tools for real-time visibility and performance reporting that supported client decision-making.
Before Maersk, I managed shipper accounts at Red Classic Transportation Services, negotiating seasonal and annual contract rates, coordinating end-to-end shipment execution, and analyzing carrier performance data to improve carrier selection. I also led the successful implementation of a Transportation Management System (TMS) to increase operational efficiency, and I’m certified in Lean Six Sigma.
