What I'm looking for

I seek a role leading logistics or procurement where I can drive cost savings, improve supply-chain efficiency, and lead cross-functional teams in a results-oriented, collaborative environment.

I am a goal-oriented logistics and procurement leader with extensive experience optimizing supply chains, negotiating contracts, and delivering measurable cost savings across LATAM operations.

Over my career I have managed end-to-end logistics functions, supervised operational teams, and led procurement for raw, cooked and packaged goods, reducing mobilization times and logistics costs while improving profitability.

I hold a Master of Applied Business and a Project Management certificate from BYU, and advanced training in international commerce, customs management and supply-chain systems.

I combine hands-on operational leadership, strong negotiation skills, and technical proficiency (including Cargowise and advanced Excel) to streamline processes and support program execution for scalable growth.
