I lead manufacturing operations, inventory strategy, and logistics teams to improve delivery and efficiency.
What I'm looking for
I've progressed through increasingly responsible manufacturing leadership roles at Emerson, leading materials planning, inventory strategy, logistics, warehouse operations, and production support.
As Materials & Logistics Manager, I cut net inventory by $10 million in FY26 while improving RDSL and PDSL. I also raised part-count accuracy from 68% to 92% in the first year of a comprehensive cycle count program.
I lead cross-functional teams across operations, production planning, sourcing, quality, and finance to align inventory, forecasts, and customer delivery. I've overseen departments of up to 40 direct and indirect employees and managed manufacturing teams of up to 45 employees.
My background combines inventory control, production scheduling, warehouse and shipping operations, Lean improvement, data analysis, and team development. I use SAP, MES tools, and operational reporting to strengthen accuracy, continuity, safety, and performance.
