Anthony Strait Email & Phone Number

My life's journey truly took off in 2010 shortly after turning 21 years old when I made the conscious decision to serve active duty with the United State Army. During my time in service, I completed 2 combat tours that not only tested me physically but also mentally and as a result earned some of the most important life lessons early on. After completing my service, I took my new lease on life and enrolled at Arizona State University where I earned my BA in Urban Planning with an emphasis in transportation demand management. During that time, in 2014, I began working at Downtown Tempe Authority within the parking operations department to begin applying what I was learning in school to a real-world application. Over the years in operations being challenged with capacity management and throughput/output issues it became evident that I had a passion for strategic planning and solving complex problems using an array of data analytics and supply chain methods. In 2021, I once again decided to challenge myself and returned to ASU and took on the full time WP Carey MBA program focusing on Supply Chain Management and Leadership, achieving this goal in conjunction with maintaining my full-time role as the Sr. Operations Manager. In May of 2023 I completed the MBA program and recently ellipse 9 years working with Downtown Tempe Authority managing the CBD's parking assets. I am now looking to take on the next big challenge and start a new chapter in my career with a firm that is looking for a motivated and dedicated partner looking to advance its operational success to the next level. In my career I have proven to be assertive and self-motivated to maximize efficiency and productivity by leveraging data analytics, strategically integrating technology, an acute awareness of the economics at play and sustainable supply chain practices. Furthermore, through effective leadership and communication I have successfully led teams to surpass goals and set new standards all the while maintaining a positive work environment.I am a catalyst to a successful, high-performing team, driven by innovation, creativity, and collaboration with a goal to improve an organization’s local, national and global presence within competitive markets.Operations Management | Process Improvement | Change Management | Strategic ManagementBusiness Development | Contract Negotiations | Supply Chain Management | Forecasting |Sustainability | Leadership
