Every brand has a story to tell—stories that will not only engage, inform, surprise, delight, and impact the customer, but that will also deliver on measurable business goals. And I am the conduit between the brand and the consumer.I am an innovative and results-driven operations leader with over 20 years of experience in managing product development, inventory planning, procurement, and logistics within the consumer goods industry. Currently, I serve as the Director of Operations & Logistics at SMEG Canada. In this role, I oversee all aspects of operations and logistics management. I ensure efficient inventory management and forecasting to support SMEG Canada’s SDA and MDA businesses. My dedication to punctual delivery and high standards has been crucial in maintaining operational excellence. In my previous roles at Allan Mathews Consulting Inc., Home Textiles Inc., and Red Apple Stores Inc., I specialized in brand development and private label opportunities. I managed multimillion-dollar portfolios, sourced high-quality suppliers, and developed innovative product lines. Additionally, I held pivotal roles at The Bargain Shop and Walmart Canada Corp., where I managed large import portfolios and led product development and sourcing strategies. At Walmart, I significantly enhanced categories through innovative product lines for brands such as "Gordon Ramsay," "Hometrends," and "Rival." During my time in apparel manufacturing, I developed fashion apparel for brands including "Union Bay," "French Connection," "Ruff Hewn," "Point Zero," "H&M," and Buffalo. I received the Shining Star Award three times for exceptional service at Walmart. My expertise encompasses product development, strategic sourcing, vendor management, inventory planning, operations and logistics management, and global procurement. I am passionate about driving innovation and am dedicated to leveraging my skills to foster growth and deliver exceptional results. In my leisure, I accomplished “Artist Exhibited Paintings” across Ontario since February 2006 and have successfully displayed my paintings at The Mississauga Central Library, The Beaux Art Gallery – Brampton and The Caledon Town Hall.
