What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead supply chain analytics and optimization, deliver measurable cost savings, collaborate cross-functionally, and scale data-driven decision-making within an operations-focused team.

I am a senior supply chain data analytics and logistics leader with a track record of turning disparate data into actionable business intelligence and driving multimillion-dollar savings through modeling, optimization and program leadership. I have led parcel and routing optimizations, migrated financial and logistics processes to real-time data, and implemented cloud data platforms to improve visibility and P&L consistency.

My experience spans consulting and in-house roles across enterprise and retail environments where I built analytics teams, reported to senior leadership, and delivered operational improvements including a $30M parcel savings initiative, a $10M routing change, and mitigation of $3M in incremental warehousing costs. I prioritize clear communication, cross-functional collaboration, and pragmatic solutions that balance cost, service and scalability.
