I lead operations and supply chain teams to improve inventory accuracy and warehouse quality.
What I'm looking for
I’m an operations and supply chain leader with 6+ years managing large-scale fulfilment, inventory control, and ICQA functions. Currently, I lead 300+ associates across a high-volume distribution site, bringing full accountability for safety, quality, productivity, and site performance. I’m known for translating data into practical execution—especially through warehouse management systems (WMS), clear KPI bridges, and tight cross-functional alignment.
My record reflects consistent quality and inventory outcomes: I delivered 65% damage reduction, achieved a 92% compliance audit pass rate, and coordinated a 5.5M-unit interfacility transshipment at a 2.35% defect rate. I drive improvements through Lean methodology—such as redesigning receiving flow to reduce defect injection and owning inventory value performance with variance analysis to prevent loss. I also strengthen repeatability by standardizing records and reports so quality metrics stay accurate and timely.
I combine Lean Six Sigma Green Belt training with data analytics, root cause analysis, and vendor/dock coordination to remove operational risk before it becomes a problem. I’ve progressed through fulfilment associate to Inventory Control & Quality Assurance Supervisor and now Area Manager, always building teams, improving process design, and partnering with operations, finance, and loss prevention to optimize inventory flow. I also lead structured initiatives that convert capacity and planning needs into measurable execution gains—like automation of consolidation planning templates.
