What I'm looking for
I am a goal-oriented transportation and operations specialist with extensive experience in transportation management, process improvement, and team leadership. I have a track record of analyzing problems, implementing solutions, and reducing costs while maintaining service standards.
At Ruan Transportation Management Systems I led a team of ten specialists, served as primary escalation contact, and developed a department-wide onboarding program that directly trained over one hundred new hires. I produced reports and presentations that highlighted cost-saving initiatives and improved stakeholder understanding of operational efficiencies.
In roles at Athene and Barr-Nunn I collaborated with cross-functional teams to clarify requirements, resolve documentation discrepancies, and reduce errors and rework. I apply strong attention to detail and problem-solving skills to improve data accuracy and operational performance.
