What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own end-to-end import/export logistics, strengthen compliance, improve on-time delivery, and reduce total logistics costs through continuous improvement and tight shipment tracking.

I’m a logistics and foreign trade professional with 10+ years in the automotive industry, focused on managing international shipments, procurement activities, and cross-border operations end-to-end. I’m results-driven, committed to operational efficiency, compliance, and continuous improvement.

In my current role, I lead compliant global freight execution across ocean, air, and ground transport. I manage 150+ ocean containers annually, oversee 440+ tons of air freight per year, drive cost-control by preventing demurrage and delay penalties, and review shipping and customs documents to ensure accuracy.

Previously at Allgaier de Puebla, I coordinated import/export operations to support efficient cross-border shipments. I proactively tracked shipments to avoid storage charges and demurrage, aligned departure schedules with shipping lines and airlines, and prepared traffic reports to keep clients informed.

Earlier in my career, I combined procurement and foreign trade responsibilities—reorganizing routes to improve delivery times and reduce costs, supporting IATF 16949 and ISO 9001 audits, and using systems like Dynamics, WEB EDI Portal, and other logistics platforms to maintain accurate planning and documentation. I’ve delivered measurable impact, including reduced logistics costs by 12% and improved on-time deliveries by 18%.
