What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining operations or supply-chain leadership with people-focused responsibilities—clear processes, cross-functional teams, growth, and measurable impact.

I am a versatile, results-oriented professional with hands-on experience in operations management, talent acquisition, and technical sales. I specialize in end-to-end warehouse processes, US IT staffing, client engagement, and cross-functional coordination.

I have managed large-volume shipments and ensured quality control across agricultural supply chains, overseeing FCL shipments and organizing inventory by grade to optimize dispatch efficiency. I also coordinated procurement by inspecting supplier stock and verifying intake quality.

In talent acquisition, I sourced and screened IT professionals for U.S.-based clients across W2, C2C and 1099 contracts, using ATS tools and LinkedIn to manage full-cycle coordination and match candidates to client needs. I specialized in identifying USC, GC and H4-EAD profiles.

I combine strong problem-solving, adaptability across industries, and clear communication—fluent in English and conversational in French and Portuguese—to drive customer satisfaction, streamline processes, and close high-volume sales.
