What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead demand planning, materials management, production planning, or distribution operations where I can improve forecasting, inventory performance, throughput, and client outcomes.

I've spent seven years at ZXP Technologies directing demand planning, inbound materials management, and high-volume distribution for complex supply chain operations.

As Director of Accounts, I led a major third-party BP account, increasing net revenue by 21.8% and processed gallon volume by 13.7%. I forecast demand for more than 300 finished products and aligned client needs with internal operations across multinational distribution channels.

I’ve also managed production scheduling, materials planning, purchasing, and customer accounts. My work has included optimizing safety stock, improving MRP processes, coordinating suppliers including Union Pacific and Exxon Lubricants, and leading inbound supply chain teams.

For Exxon/Mobil client programs, I managed the processing of millions of gallons annually and onboarded campaigns that increased throughput by 112%. I’ve owned blending, quality analysis, advanced packaging, and regional distribution for flagship product lines.
