Customer service and order management professional specializing in SAP, compliance-ready workflows, and audit-accurate execution.
What I'm looking for
I’m a versatile operations, order management, and administrative professional with 20+ years across aerospace manufacturing, consumer goods, and supply chain environments. I maintain 100% data accuracy while owning full-cycle order entry and purchase order management, building workflows, SOPs, and audit-ready documentation that keep teams efficient.
My track record includes 100% EAR/ITAR compliance with zero audit findings across 20+ years, plus fast adoption of SAP and CRM tools. In recent roles, I created an order tracking system in Microsoft 365, reduced order delays by 15% through root-cause analysis, improved CRM/database accuracy by 30%, and strengthened MRP data integrity by 25%—all while partnering cross-functionally across production, planning, quality, engineering, logistics, finance, HR, and compliance.
