What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated supply chain and freight forwarding professional with 7+ years of experience supporting global import/export operations, freight procurement, and trade-lane execution. I specialize in carrier negotiations, FCL/LCL sourcing strategies, landed-cost modeling, customs documentation, and implementing ERP/TMS-driven workflows that improve on-time performance and reduce costs.
I have led transformation projects moving teams from transactional processing to proactive, customer-centric operations, delivering measurable improvements in accuracy, cycle time, and margins. I am known for clear communication, stakeholder alignment during system rollouts, and developing pricing tools and dashboards that strengthen cost-to-serve visibility and commercial decision-making.
