What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can run end-to-end logistics and supply chain programs while building AI-powered workflow automation and BI dashboards that eliminate manual work, improve inventory accuracy, and enable leadership decisions in fast-moving environments.

I’m an Operations Program Manager with 15+ years across Fortune 100 technology companies—including Meta, Amazon, and Apple—owning end-to-end hardware logistics, supply chain operations, and cross-functional programs. I’m hands-on with ERP and supply chain systems (Oracle ERP Cloud, Oracle EBS, SAP) plus BI reporting (Power BI, Tableau, SQL) to drive real, measurable operational outcomes.

At Meta, I designed and deployed an AI-powered operational application suite that automates device status tracking, inventory reconciliation, and reporting—replacing manual spreadsheets with real-time visibility. I’ve led end-to-end operations for 3,800+ prototype units, driven inventory reconciliation across four warehouse locations (85%+ accuracy), coordinated NPI and ECO readiness, and completed enterprise-scale data migration of 3,000+ device records while standardizing SOPs to accelerate team ramp time.
