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.

At lululemon, I lead inventory management across two distribution centres supporting more than 7 million units, 20+ direct reports, and 99.99% shrink performance. I use Manhattan Active, LMS, forecasting, audits, and root-cause analysis to improve inventory accuracy, visibility, and accountability.

I've also supported RFID and omni-channel inventory operations at Skechers, led FDM's sales growth from $785K to $1.5M, and analyzed security risks at Apple using Splunk. I bring hands-on experience improving warehouse workflows, labour performance, KPI reporting, and cross-functional operations.
