When I say I’ve got the goods, it’s not bragging. I’m just stating the facts. I’ve led the supply chain teams that efficiently produce, store, process, and deliver those goods on time and in full. My newest role pivots my focus to ensuring that the optimal materials are obtained with uninterrupted availability and at a competitive price. I’m an APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional combining a growth mindset, an MBA, and over 20 years of logistics, distribution and process management experience throughout diverse industry verticals.I am driven by the desire to grow exceptional teams by mentoring and developing coworkers, leveraging lean methodologies, and deploying best practices to overcome operational obstacles and achieve tangible results. My strengths include analytical problem solving, contingency planning, and being a team player that displays integrity and leadership to drive positive outcomes. I truly enjoy building lasting relationships with customers, coworkers, and suppliers.In addition to the coffee in my morning routine is a personal daily reminder that each day gives us another chance to make a positive impact. It is a conscious choice to try to improve rather than to accept status quo. When team members trust in each other and embrace that philosophy, that is where potential can be realized and reality transformed.Selected Specialties: * Distribution Center Operations* 3PL Management* Operational Excellence* Team Building* Start-up Operations and Implementations* Provider Transitions* Project Management* Warehouse Management Systems* eCommerce and Omni Channel Fulfillment* Strategic Planning* Process Management* P&L Management* Business Development* Sourcing and Procurement
