Camilo Villafrade
@camilovillafrade
Operations management specialist driving cost savings, process optimization, and cross‑functional efficiency.
What I'm looking for
I am a bilingual operations management specialist with 20+ years of experience improving workflows, implementing SOPs, and delivering measurable cost and efficiency gains across manufacturing, logistics, e-commerce, and real estate.
I have led strategic sourcing and procurement efforts that yielded multimillion‑dollar savings, reduced purchasing time through SOP and automation, and cut shipping costs via negotiation and carrier consolidation. I build and document processes, coordinate cross‑functional teams, and leverage ERP and other systems to improve KPI performance.
I focus on practical, results‑driven improvements — from supply and demand planning and warehousing to order fulfillment and inventory management — and I enjoy helping teams adopt tools and workflows that scale operations and increase customer satisfaction.
