Nicolette Ellis

I’m a high-impact logistics and transportation professional with 9+ years of experience leading domestic and international supply chain operations across air, ocean, rail, and truck networks. I focus on reducing costs, improving transportation performance, strengthening carrier relationships, and delivering operational excellence in complex, multi-site environments.

I’ve managed multimillion-dollar freight programs and built executive-level KPI reporting that leadership teams use to improve decision-making. I’m recognized for driving continuous improvement that improves service levels and profitability, supported by a strong analytical foundation in transportation performance, delivery metrics, and carrier effectiveness.

In my recent roles, I’ve directed daily transportation operations and delivered shipment visibility, issue resolution, carrier communication, and delivery performance tracking. I reduced transportation fuel spend by 12% by combining data analysis with transportation efficiency initiatives, while supporting operations across multiple manufacturing facilities simultaneously.

I also bring deep international logistics experience, including coordinating global freight flows, advising on Incoterms and transportation strategy, and ensuring regulatory compliance through AES filings and HTS code verification. I thrive collaborating across remote teams, vendors, carriers, distribution centers, and executive stakeholders, using advanced Excel, Power BI, SAP, and Oracle to transform logistics data into actionable insights.
