What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to drive operational excellence and innovation within a dynamic team, focusing on strategic supply chain initiatives.

I am a strategic supply chain executive with over 13 years of progressive leadership experience in end-to-end supply chain management, logistics optimization, and organizational transformation across retail, manufacturing, and CPG sectors. My proven track record includes directing cross-functional teams, managing multimillion-dollar budgets, and delivering sustainable value through innovation, data analytics, and operational excellence.

Throughout my career, I have spearheaded initiatives that resulted in significant cost reductions and improved service levels. For instance, I achieved $6M in savings through the integration of data analytics and process optimization at Mission Foods. I have also directed company-wide planning and demand forecasting operations at The Parent Company, increasing fill rates to 98% and enhancing inventory turnover.

My leadership style focuses on building strong vendor partnerships and fostering a culture of continuous improvement and accountability. I am fluent in both English and Spanish, which allows me to engage effectively in diverse environments. I am eager to leverage my expertise in supply chain management to contribute to your organization's success.
