Senior level risk management professional with more than 25 years of experience in the transportation industry. My career began in operations with the world’s largest transportation company, where I held various management positions (operations, customer service, sales, engineering, and safety). I was instrumental in introducing new service offerings, leading projects from concept to completion, as well as advising large corporations on transportation logistics. Serving as special liaison, I called on Wisconsin Congressional leaders, lobbying on behalf of transportation. While at a large LTL carrier, I developed an exceptional risk management team and led in the development of a number of initiatives –producing real change in company culture and ensuring that compliance was the first and foremost priority in the company. Through the use of education, enforcement and follow-up, we pioneered an industry-leading safety culture in workers’ compensation, contractor & employee relations, recruitment and retention, fuel tax auditing and regulatory compliance. With this approach, independent contractor turnover was reduced to less than 10 per cent annually. An aggressive claims management approach saved the company more than five million dollars in punitive damage suits and his cargo claims team posted one of the industry’s lowest published claim frequencies in the country.Specialties: Employee Relations Organizational DevelopmentProject Management Recruitment & Retention Union AvoidanceContract NegotiationsCoaching/Mentoring Senior LeadersRisk & Safety ManagementOperationsEngineering Claims ManagementIndependent Contractors Relationships
