@ivanfuentes
I lead global logistics, supply chains, and enterprise asset accountability.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I've led global logistics and sustainment operations for Global Defense & Aerospace Operations Division, directing multi-site supply chains, facility management, material distribution, and a 350+ vehicle fleet supporting 1,869+ personnel.
I reconcile complex inventory shortages, build audit-ready asset governance, and manage commercial contracts while maintaining serialized accountability for high-value systems moving through international distribution corridors.
Across regional operations at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, I led divestiture and redistribution of more than 4,000 capital assets with 100% reconciliation, eliminated an 8,300-day investigation backlog in five months, and raised inventory-control audit ratings from 62% to 90%.
I've also built logistics training programs, established a regional Sustainment University, mentored personnel into Certified Logistics Associate credentials, and helped teams deliver reliable readiness, compliance, and operational performance under high-tempo conditions.
