United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At Walmart, I lead inbound operations and cross-functional transformation initiatives across high-volume fulfillment environments, aligning Operations, Finance, Product, Automation Engineering, and other teams around business outcomes.
I redesigned First-Time-SKU processes to improve inbound throughput productivity by 12%, implemented case-pack receiving that generated $32M in GMV, and manage a sorter retrofit projected to increase inbound capacity by 53%.
I've also accelerated fulfillment-site launches, achieved 80 units per hour within four weeks, and bring military leadership experience in training plans, risk controls, resource forecasting, and execution governance.
