What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead trade compliance and global logistics initiatives where I can reduce transportation costs, strengthen regulatory alignment, and improve carrier and 3PL performance across international operations.

At Stolle Machinery, I lead global trade compliance across U.S., EU, and Latin American operations, advising teams on U.S. trade laws, sanctions, tariffs, and restricted-party screening. I also led a global freight-forwarder RFP/RFQ that reduced logistics spend by approximately 40% and cut domestic LTL costs by 39%, delivering $399K in annual savings.

Previously at Ceva Logistics, I coordinated import, export, pricing, and foreign-to-foreign shipments for mining and oil and gas customers, managing more than 50 monthly international shipments and over $300,000 in recurring monthly revenue. My background also includes bookstore operations, demand forecasting, team supervision, and a store expansion that increased sales by 23%.
