What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a senior-level role as Senior Manager or Director of Supply Chain, Inventory, or Warehouse Operations, where I can lead teams, improve RMA/returns and inventory processes, build KPI-driven execution, and optimize operational efficiency end-to-end.

I’m a results-driven Operations & Supply Chain leader with 15+ years of progressive experience across Order Management, Returns Operations, Inventory Optimization, and Financial Analysis. I currently serve as Manager, Order Management Returns at Motive (ex-KeepTruckin), leading end-to-end RMA workflows, cross-functional coordination, and a high-performing team of nine specialists.

I focus on driving process improvements that reduce operational costs and maximize asset recovery value—developing and enforcing SOPs, optimizing inventory flow for returned/refurbished/replacement units, and building KPI dashboards for RMA cycle time, return rates, warranty compliance, and productivity. I’ve automated return status notifications in Salesforce and Zuora, reducing manual touchpoints by 35%, while collaborating with Customer Success, Finance, Logistics, and Engineering to resolve escalated return cases and surface actionable insights. Earlier in my career, I supported returns operations as an Analyst and Team Lead, and also worked as a Financial & Data Analyst using SQL and financial modeling to inform decision-making.
