What I'm looking for

I'm seeking to leverage my operational expertise to enhance efficiency and drive growth for Purple.

At LUBEZONE, INC, I standardized operating procedures and strategies across locations, implemented corporate plans, and monitored budgets to support profitability. I also rolled out a new POS system as Director Store Operations and built partnerships with local fleets to expand business.

At SPEEDCO, INC, I directed operations across nine locations in six states and helped launch a new company location. Earlier, I managed client-site outsourcing operations at XEROX CORPORATION, overseeing revenue up to $14.5 million and recovering an at-risk account to “Very Satisfied.”
