Adrian Santos Email and Phone Number

Adrian Santos possesses expertise in warehouse management, supply chain, warehousing, operations management, supply chain management and 27 more skills. Colleagues describe them as "I was part of Adrian's regional leadership team at UNFI and Grocery Outlet. Adrian loves to dig into the details. We would often leverage both data and operational expertise in finding balance between day to day operations and the big picture initiatives we needed to execute. Adrian is definitely a very hands-on leader when it comes to planning and executing an initiative. He also relies heavily on his team in taking the same approach when it comes to implementing those initiatives with their respective teams. Aside from periodic visits to my site, we had regular and frequent touch points to monitor progress. During these discussions, ideas were exchanged openly on how to improve a process or approach. He would often pull data behind the scenes and review anomalies with me as a way of collaboration towards a root cause. Adrian used data as a way to spark a conversation or new thought in the operation, and as a source of truth for us to anchor against when focusing on a common goal." and "During my time at Grocery Outlet working with Adrian as my manager, he helped me onboard to a new type of logistics practice. My background came from eComm at Amazon FCs and delivery stations. Adrian helped me connect the dots on the nuances of grocery logistics as it was vastly different from what was familiar to me at Amazon. At the same time, he would regularly seek my input and leveraged my experience from Amazon to help shape initiatives and projects. He helped me thread a balance of holding our third party logistics providers accountable while building a collaborative atmosphere. Adrian's obsession on the customer experience runs similar to the Amazon ethos. He guided me on how to approach and communicate matters sensitive upstream and downstream. He was willing to get in the details and analyze data at the same time provide a macro strategy and plan to execute on our metrics and accountabilities.  On a human level, he stressed the importance of work-life balance but always answered the phone anytime. As I switched from Amazon to Grocery Outlet, I made lots of mistakes-- yet Adrian always was encouraging and even took some ownership upon himself. He will step up to bat for his time and never ask them to do anything he would not do himself."
