About
Senior supply chain and operations leader with a proven track record driving results across complex, multi-site warehouse and fulfillment organizations. Known for intellectual curiosity, strong relationship-building, and the ability to influence at all levels — from frontline teams to executive leadership. I specialize in translating operational data into action. My background includes leading large teams, consolidating facilities, managing multi-client B2B and B2C operations, and delivering measurable improvements in throughput, service levels, cost control, and quality. I’m highly analytical and metrics-driven, with deep experience using KPIs, dashboards, and data analysis to support decision-making and continuous improvement. Technically, I’m hands-on with multiple WMS platforms and operational systems and comfortable operating at both the strategic and tactical level. I’m known for clear communication, practical change management, and building teams and processes that scale. Open to senior operations, logistics, or fulfillment leadership opportunities where I can help organizations stabilize, optimize, and grow.
