United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I'm building global logistics capabilities at American Industrial Systems, establishing scalable transportation processes, carrier strategies, routing governance, and operating controls across North America and international trade lanes.
I've led transportation transformation through TMS deployment, automated carrier tendering, routing logic, and integrations across SAP, Trade Automation, TMS, and warehouse operations.
At Base Brands, I drove a 20% reduction in logistics costs, improved order-to-delivery times by 27%, and supported 18% year-over-year revenue growth through 3PL partnerships and process improvements.
Across more than two decades in supply chain, I've managed global transportation, warehousing, import/export compliance, inventory, and site transitions while helping teams maintain service, profitability, and resilience through disruption.
