As a strategic and forward-thinking regional transportation manager, I have extensive experience leading supply chain strategies to ensure alignment with broader organizational goals. Throughout my career, I have served as a knowledgeable and collaborative executive with impeccable communication skills and a talent for coaching teams to enact creative solutions that maximize efficient inventory flow, focusing on proactive capacity, forecasting, and planning. I have also created well-balanced transportation solutions and identified opportunities to optimize costs and services. I am an innovative self-starter who leads by example, meeting and exceeding delivery expectations to ensure overall profitability and growth. A few notable accomplishments of which I am incredibly proud include:• Developing and implementing the forecasting tool at Dollar Tree / Family Dollar. Efficiently planned long-term carrier strategy by understanding driver and trailer demands across transportation network, improved carrier performance and accountability by 13%, and identified year-over-year cost savings of $2.4M across 4 distribution centers. • Improving transportation management logic for carrier selection at Zulily. Achieved annual cost savings of $4M per year, reduced delivery failures by 99%, and increased profitability from 7% to 13%. • Increasing monthly revenue at Yusen Logistics from $250K to $2M in 3 years; secured additional business with high-end customers like Target and Coca-Cola. Grew and retained more than 60 accounts by building strategic partnerships.• Creating and implementing the new TMS at Pacific Gas and Electric. Communicated transportation strategy, tactical priorities, and performance expectations across the organization and identified risk reduction measures. I am excited to expand my professional network and see what the future may hold.
