What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead end-to-end logistics and supply chain visibility programs—building scalable frameworks, driving KPI-driven performance, and ensuring global trade compliance while partnering with cross-functional teams to deliver measurable operational excellence.

I’m a Supply Chain & Logistics Manager with 15+ years of progressive experience building and leading end-to-end logistics operations across freight forwarding, global trade compliance, warehousing, and enterprise supply chain technology. I design logistics frameworks from the ground up and manage multi-modal international transportation networks while ensuring full compliance with CBP, ITAR/EAR, FMC, and C-TPAT regulations.

In my current role at FourKites, I lead supply chain visibility and logistics operations deployments for Global 1000 manufacturers, retailers, and carriers. I configure real-time shipment tracking, automate exception management, and build end-to-end material visibility by integrating order, shipment, inventory, and facility data—shifting teams from reactive firefighting to proactive, data-driven execution.

Earlier, I directed end-to-end global logistics operations for the wind energy sector at OTC Logistics, managing multi-modal transportation across US and Canada and negotiating carrier contracts through complex RFI/RFP processes. Before that, as Managing Director at Global Logistical Connections, I oversaw international, domestic, and warehouse operations, established new office/warehouse capacity, and managed customs brokerage and trade compliance, including HTS classification and import/export documentation.
