I am a Supply Chain executive with progressive experience driving efficiency and innovation in complex supply chain functions. I’ve gathered decades of hands-on experience with growing and mature brands in public and private environments, for both corporate and franchise owned organizations. I’m known for being a collaborative, decisive team leader, who is excellent at building lasting relationships inside and outside of an organization. As a member of the executive leadership team at Smalls Sliders, I've played a pivotal role in propelling our explosive growth. In my first year leading Supply Chain, I focused on: - Contract Negotiations and Supply Chain Expansion: Orchestrating pivotal negotiations with industry giants and securing a distribution contract laid the groundwork for our expansive supply chain growth. This strategic move enabled us to scale seamlessly across multiple states, fostering a consistent message and robust distribution arm.- Cost Optimization and Operational Efficiency: Reducing equipment costs by an impressive 21% was achieved through meticulous renegotiations and forward-thinking commitments through 2025. By implementing bulk purchasing strategies and proactive cost management, I effectively mitigated escalating expenses. Furthermore, I supported the redesigning of the interior layout and equipment configuration resulting in a remarkable 66% increase in efficiency and flow-through, simultaneously reducing labor by 33%.My focus remains on fostering growth and efficiency within our organization. I am poised to spearhead initiatives aimed at expanding our network of builders and suppliers while streamlining our construction processes to significantly shorten build times. Excitement fuels my dedication to further fortify our supply chain and cultivate a dynamic, cohesive team that propels Smalls Sliders toward unparalleled success.
