Janelle Hudson
@janellehudson1
PMP-certified project manager blending strategy with hands-on execution driven by results.
What I'm looking for
I've led product launches, procurement, and operational transformation across Jamaica, the United States, Belize, and the UK. At Joja Jamaica, I launched a fresh orange juice product from concept to market entry, overseeing production, merchandising, marketing, inventory, and launch-week sales initiatives.
At Impact Trading Jamaica, I sourced and onboarded 150+ products, expanded product diversity by 40%, and drove 22% growth in key sales channels. I also secured 10+ public-sector contracts and negotiated with 50+ vendors to reduce average costs by 15%.
I've built practical systems that improve visibility and execution. At A A Auto Mart, I digitized 3,000+ auto parts, rebuilt the product database, standardized accounting workflows, and created automated purchasing and restocking processes that increased margins by 15%.
My background also includes managing luxury rental setup and operations, executive projects and travel logistics, multi-property operations, and retail service-center expansion. I'm PMP-certified and bring a hands-on, solutions-focused approach to keeping complex, multi-stakeholder work on time and within budget.
