What I'm looking for

I seek a senior operations role where I can scale distributed networks, optimize logistics and labor, implement process standards, and deliver measurable cost and service improvements.

I am an operations executive with over 15 years of leadership experience building and scaling multi-site, distributed operations. I specialize in rapid growth environments where logistics, cash handling, and regulatory compliance are critical.

At RockItCoin I led expansion of the ATM fleet from 300 to 2,000+ machines nationwide, redesigned armored truck routing to cut transportation costs by 20%, and established standardized procedures that improved uptime and service consistency.

Previously, I built, owned and operated a 12-location Jimmy John’s franchise, where I managed P&L, developed 200+ employees, implemented labor optimization, and ran routine operational audits to boost profitability and service quality.

I bring a hands-on leadership style focused on process standardization, team development, vendor management, and measurable cost reduction. I seek roles where I can drive operational excellence and scale distributed service networks.
