What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead supply chain, logistics, or operations initiatives where I can improve cost, delivery, inventory, distribution, and sustainable business performance.

I've led supply chain and operations initiatives for AIM Chemicals, Gildan, Cosnova, Mersen, Lexmark, DHL, Johnson Diversey, Consorcio Dipcen, and Avon. At AIM Chemicals, I established operational foundations to support expansion to 3,000 tons per month while advancing sustainable packaging and waste-management strategies.

Across regional logistics, distribution, procurement, and demand planning, I've reduced transportation costs by up to 30%, improved delivery efficiency by 20%, and maintained inventory accuracy as high as 99.9%. I build high-performing teams and stakeholder relationships across English- and Spanish-speaking environments, using SAP, 3PL management, and process improvement to strengthen service and operational performance.
