With over 20 years of work experience in the logistics industry, I am a passionate and driven leader who specializes in integrated supply chain logistics and distribution solutions for high-value, sensitive products. As the National Director of Logistics Solutions at Champagne Logistics, I am responsible for building and developing new business relationships and partnerships by providing solutions to our clients through our expansive logistics network that spans across the United States and Canada. I am motivated by the mission of Champagne Logistics to deliver innovative solutions that help our clients streamline their business processes, accelerate their order cycle times, improve their customer service and tighten control of their transportation programs. I bring diverse perspectives and experiences to the team, having worked in different markets, regions, and sectors, and having served as the President of the Milwaukee Roundtable at the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) for four years.Before joining Champagne Logistics in August 2019, I was a Business Development Manager at SEKO Logistics, a global provider of freight forwarding, transportation, logistics, and supply chain solutions. In this role, I was responsible for generating new business opportunities, developing strategic partnerships, and managing key accounts in the Wisconsin region. I leveraged my skills in warehouse management, ocean, and logistics management to create and execute customized solutions that met the needs and expectations of our customers. I also collaborated with internal and external stakeholders to ensure smooth and efficient delivery of our services. During my six-year tenure at SEKO Logistics, I successfully secured and managed several large contracts, increased sales revenue and profitability, and enhanced customer satisfaction and retention.
