@tamaralaurette
Operations professional specializing in inventory control, logistics coordination, and supplier management to keep aircraft operations mission-ready.
What I'm looking for
I’m an operations professional focused on inventory control, logistics coordination, supplier/vendor management, and operational readiness in highly regulated, fast-paced environments. I analyze operational challenges, improve processes, and deliver accurate documentation while adapting quickly to changing priorities.
In aircraft operations, I coordinate domestic and international supplier and catering needs, track shipments and delivery delays, and proactively resolve supply disruptions to maintain operational continuity and on-time departures. I’ve maintained and reconciled aircraft inventory and catering stock across multiple aircraft types to ensure reliable reporting and full stock visibility for every flight.
Some of my standout impact includes designing and implementing a fleet inventory tracking and documentation process that reduced provisioning discrepancies by 15%, onboarding a replacement catering vendor on an international route with no disruption to scheduled operations, and managing end-to-end provisioning and stock setup for a newly delivered aircraft on a 5-day timeline to reach readiness for the client’s first flight. Earlier, in HR operations, I led end-to-end onboarding for 50+ hires annually, reducing onboarding delays by 30% and operational errors by 25% through standardized workflows and documentation, using Workday and HRIS platforms.
