Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for operations management, as well as for process automation and partner relations, I have a verifiable history of contributing directly to company growth and expansion throughout my career. As such, I have consistently exceeded cost and performance goals and I am adept at achieving maximum operational output with minimal resource expenditure. Professional focal points include trade management, reporting automation, performance analysis, process optimization, financial management, and time savings. Delivering superior administration on the latter areas of expertise requires utilization of effective communication and prioritization skills, as well as business acumen, systems analysis, project management and resource management to support efficiency and maximum returns. Currently, I am the Business Analysis and Operations Manager with ECOM Group. Under my leadership, I direct and oversee a broad range of IT resources and projects for the US cotton industry while developing and implementing optimized systems and reports. I continuously monitor and certify complete compliance with all Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) regulations for the entire cotton group. In addition, I liaise with senior leadership, stakeholders, and IT teams to ensure the company’s trade support structure is driving the business forward with minimal expenditures.Colleagues describe me as a progressive, driven, down-to-earth, business and analytical expert who can be relied on to offer superior solutions that deliver profitable results on time and under budget.I am interested in contacting former colleagues and managers, as well as other professionals in my field.
