Logistics operations leader focused on safer, faster Amazon fulfillment.
What I'm looking for
I’m an operations professional with over 10 years of experience managing warehouses, logistics, and shift teams. I currently work as an Amazon Process Guide in Coventry, where I’ve learned to keep safety and performance on track under high-pressure shifts.
I’ve spent over a year stepping up as a Proxy Lead to cover a full Area Manager caseload. When it matters, I make on-the-spot decisions on headcount and process changes, watch targets in real time, and shift staff around based on live data so we don’t fall behind pace.
I’m used to running safety for active zones—spotting floor hazards, running safety audits, and keeping compliance aligned with global standards. I also focus on shift performance by tracking hourly KPIs, meeting SLAs, and addressing bottlenecks with small improvement projects using Lean and Kaizen.
I enjoy mentoring new starters and helping teams hit their standard rates faster, while turning daily numbers into clear takeaways for senior managers. Outside Amazon, I’ve supported operations through roles like Customer Experience Specialist at Nokia and Area Operations Manager in logistics, and I’ve also worked as a Social Researcher collecting and presenting findings to non-technical stakeholders.
