Message

At Middleby Refrigeration, I lead the Purchasing, Planning, Logistics, and Warehouse Teams across two locations. Through tariff engineering, sourcing from lower-tariff areas, and domestic sourcing of key components, I implemented over $1M in annual cost savings.

I launched an S&OP process that improved forecast accuracy by 27%, and used AI to analyze stock and MRP messages, identifying $1M in inventory reductions. I also led the transition to consolidate operations and ERP systems, coordinating the physical transfer of inventory.

Previously, at D.S. Brown Company, I achieved $1.8M in direct material cost reductions and reduced total inventory by 37%. Across roles at Tronair, Vitamix, and Goodrich Corporation, I worked on strategic sourcing, supplier performance, planning, and logistics improvements.
