Joe Mendez

During my career in logistics and operations management, I’ve been successful in executing strategic initiatives that have optimized resources, delivered cost savings, and improved bottom-line financial performance. My experience is broad and includes the full range of activities in logistics, transportation, and supply chain processes end-to-end; from initial source through final destination. Have been part of start up locations building a team from start hiring process and building and maintaining a team to be successful. Results-oriented, analytical, and data-driven, I leverage metrics to drive performance and improvements. I also believe that it takes discipline in process and people to make things happen so I focus on reinforcing best practices and building teams. My approach to leadership is both collaborative and situational as individuals are different and what works with one person may not work with another. What doesn’t change is that I strive to always be fair and get to know each person’s personality and what motivates them. I’ve had the pleasure of hiring, training, and mentoring great team members who were successful in their roles and careers. I’m always looking for opportunities to improve the effectiveness of our operations and have implemented best practices in global logistics, inventory management, and safety in all roles. Experienced with international logistics and shipping, I leverage knowledge of WMS SAP systems. Have managed inventory in base warehouse along with Inventory in 3PL warehouses. Excel in Microsoft programs and have participated in many audits obtaining customer certifications.
