What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a high-ownership operations role where I can partner with execs, build KPI-driven systems, and improve inventory, fulfillment, and ERP workflows across multi-brand DTC/retail—ideally with remote flexibility.

I’m a cross-functional operations leader with 7+ years driving growth, efficiency, and profitability across multi-brand consumer goods. Serving as a de facto operational COO across supplements, apparel, and energy drinks, I own inventory strategy, corporate account management, ERP systems, financial planning, warehouse operations, and retail partnerships—partnering directly with executive leadership while independently executing end-to-end outcomes.

I focus on measurable results: I challenged conventional warehouse recommendations and helped deliver a restructuring saving over $1.1M across 7 years, managed a $5.3M Amazon vendor relationship, and returned a declining apparel brand to profitability. I also led a company-wide ERP migration from NetSuite to Acumatica (including API integrations and data migration), redesigned fulfillment workflows to increase production throughput by 14.8%, and implemented KPI dashboards that drive recurring decision-making.
