Supply Chain Manager @ Katalyst Group, Inc.

About

As a results-driven Supply Chain Manager with over 20 years of experience, I excel in managing end-to-end supply chain processes, including procurement, manufacturing, logistics, inventory management, importing, and distribution. My career is marked by a proven track record of optimizing supply chain operations to reduce costs, improve profit margins, enhance efficiency, and foster strong relationships with over 100 suppliers. Throughout my career, I have successfully overseen $6M in annual procurement, managed 250+ monthly purchase orders, and directed inventory management for over 3,000 SKUs. My strategic sourcing initiatives have significantly increased company profitability, particularly through new supplier partnerships in China and Taiwan. I excel at managing critical projects, developing recycling programs, and ensuring seamless coordination between project managers and sales teams. My technical expertise spans advanced MRP and ERP systems, including JobBOSS and Microsoft Dynamics GP, as well as Microsoft Excel and other critical software tools. This proficiency enables me to optimize supply chain processes, enhance operational efficiency, and consistently deliver exceptional results. With a strong background in vendor and supplier management, cost analysis, and process improvement, I thrive in dynamic environments where critical thinking and meticulous planning are paramount. I proudly served over eight years as a Staff Sergeant in the U.S. Air Force, completing two tours—Operation Southern Watch at Al Jaber Air Base, Kuwait (Iraq No-Fly Zone Campaign) and Operation Allied Force at Aviano Air Base, Italy (Kosovo Campaign)—and earning multiple medals. These experiences sharpened my leadership, logistics, and procurement expertise, which continue to inform every professional endeavor alongside my civilian accomplishments. I am passionate about continuous improvement and am always seeking new challenges to leverage my skills and contribute to organizational success.
