Developing and building processes that improve supply chain performance is my passion. My specialty is formulating and executing highly effective inventory and replenishment strategies that ensure retail industry operations have the right products at the right time. A forward-thinking problem solver, I assess and uncover the opportunities that improve time to market, enhance efficiencies and deliver cost savings through new process introduction and/or reengineering. I lead from the front, building cultures and teams of collaboration, accountability and respect that work in alignment to maintain below-industry attrition.
