◉ HOW I MAKE A DIFFERENCE I’m a creative problem-solver who takes calculated risks and can imagine new ways to innovate, cultivate a strong sense of integrity, and have fun. I feed off positive energy, enjoy the freedom to think and plan and easily relate to and collaborate with all generations at work. I care deeply about people, drive results, and am an experienced supply chain leader with exceptional financial acumen. ◉ CREDENTIALS AND AREAS OF EXPERTISE MBA | Lean Six Sigma Black Belt | Predictive Analysis | Continuous Improvement | Supply Chain Management Operations Excellence | Project Management | Working in Teams | BI Technology | Research| Exploratory Data Analysis | Hypothesis Testing | Strategy ◉ MY BEST ACCOMPLISHMENT The best success story in my current role is saving over $25M of operational costs at high-value buildings (with $1B in revenue) at U.S. Foods. In under one year, I led 3 (90-day) turnaround projects, increased the building capacity, lowered the labor costs, and collected late fees of half a million dollars. ◉ PROBLEMS I FIX I am considered a member of the “SWAT” team and am sent to solve complex problems enterprise-wide. If an issue has multi-faceted processes, requires discovery work and research, and needs someone to organize the resources, I’m the guy they call. But I don’t do it alone. I work with dedicated, competent teams to get projects over the line. ◉ MY MANAGEMENT STYLE I’m more of a visionary and strive to inspire rather than “manage.” I think strategically and ensure that the results and the way we got them matter. I lead with a “people first” mentality and believe If you get people on board first, you’re almost guaranteed to win. ◉ HOW TO REACH ME Contact me at FriesM85@gmail.com and let’s keep the conversation going.
