What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an operations or inventory leadership role where I can improve inventory accuracy, warehouse performance, labour planning, and cross-functional execution through data-driven process improvement.

With a Master’s in Electrical Engineering and a background in Apple Infosec, I bring a unique, highly analytical, and security-conscious lens to global operations. After pivoting to supply chain management, I developed a proven track record of scaling logistics and driving efficiency at Amazon and Skechers. Today, I manage robust supply chain operations at Lululemon. I excel at diagnosing complex system bottlenecks, leveraging data-driven strategies, and building resilient workflows that bridge the gap between technical engineering and retail logistics.
