Project Manager Automation and Innovation @ Luxottica

About

With a foundation of detailed analytics and problem solving my work focuses on complex problem-solving to accelerate productivity, minimize costs, and maximize quality. It’s what I have done during my career with a global consumer company, bringing together the systems and processes that pivot operations into an engine of innovation and value. Some highlights include: > TRANSFORMATIONAL CHANGE - Leading a cross functional team from design to implementation of automation projects including a proprietary solution to eCommerce and web customers. > COST SAVINGS – generating double-digit savings in annual freight costs through an ability to streamline processes and spot and implement transportation efficiencies. >INNOVATION CULTURE – creating and launching new technology tools designed to optimize the work of business teams. > COLLABORATION – working with senior leadership and vendors to bring projects from birth to final implementation. What differentiates me is an authentic personal drive for excellence and value – and the ability to converse in Japanese. I’m also the kind of change agent who helps people embrace new ideas and processes by making learning fun and engaging. Finally, my expertise in SAP and SQL is advanced, allowing me to transform raw data into meaningful information.
