Vice President Operations @ Ultra PRO International

About

I am a transformational Vice President of Operations and enterprise-scale supply chain leader with over 20 years of progressive leadership experience driving operational excellence, multi-site performance, and profitable growth across manufacturing, distribution, and global logistics environments. My career is defined by a consistent ability to translate strategic vision into execution, delivering measurable outcomes through cost optimization, productivity gains, and scalable operational strategies. I bring deep expertise in operational P&L leadership, supply chain optimization, continuous improvement, and ERP/WMS system implementation, including hands-on experience leading enterprise initiatives such as SAP Business One deployment. My approach is grounded in identifying inefficiencies, eliminating operational blind spots, strengthening supplier partnerships, and leading high-impact contract negotiations that improve margins and long-term value creation. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong command of global trade compliance, including HTS classification, Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), and customs regulations, ensuring risk mitigation and seamless cross-border operations within complex global supply chains. I am known for building resilient, efficient infrastructures that support both domestic and international business expansion. My leadership journey began at Winplus, where I quickly advanced from Marketing Analyst to Director of Operations after delivering $150,000 in cost savings through chargeback recovery and dispute resolution. I later led a major facility relocation and played a key role in system transformation initiatives. As Vice President of Operations, I successfully scaled business performance, increasing sales output fivefold while enhancing operational efficiency and organizational alignment. I lead with a results-driven, data-informed mindset, empowering teams, improving processes, and aligning operations with strategic business goals. My focus remains on driving sustainable growth, strengthening operational scalability, and positioning organizations for long-term enterprise success in competitive global markets.
