What I'm looking for

I seek senior operations or supply-chain roles where I can drive process optimization, scale logistics operations, lead teams, and partner with executives to deliver measurable growth.

I am a supply chain and logistics leader with an MBA and over a decade of progressive experience in business transformation, procurement, and global logistics. I have a proven track record of architecting scalable systems, driving significant growth, and building high-performing teams that deliver operational improvements.

In my current role I directed strategy and execution that increased fleet utilization and generated $30 million in new business through strategic partnerships. I have led operations teams for Fortune 100 clients, implemented warehouse management systems, negotiated cost-saving contracts, and partner with executives to align operations to business objectives.
