What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role where I can drive end-to-end supply chain transformation, implement technology-driven solutions, and build high-performing teams focused on operational excellence.

I am a results-driven operations executive with extensive experience in multi-site logistics, supply chain analytics, financial management, and strategic planning. I lead large-scale transformations, optimize end-to-end operations, and manage P&L to deliver sustained profitability.

I have directed operations for large e-commerce and fulfillment facilities, implemented WMS and automation solutions, and developed KPI dashboards using Tableau and Excel to improve forecasting and decision-making. I have a proven record of reducing labor costs, increasing productivity, and strengthening vendor and 3PL partnerships.

I bring hands-on experience with LOCUS Robotics, Manhattan Associates WMS, SAP, and other automation and analytics tools, plus a background in industrial and systems engineering that guides my process-improvement and cross-functional leadership approach.
