Since 2015, I have served as the Warehouse Manager with Ripley Tools – a leading global designer and manufacturer of high-end hand tools for the Cable TV, Telecom, Fiber Optic and Electrical Utility markets. In my role, I direct the efforts of a team of warehouse professionals, with responsibility for all shipping, receiving and inventory functions. I have a continuous improvement philosophy and a commitment to developing and implementing initiatives, processes and technologies that improve operational efficiency and reduce costs. I’m proud of my team and our reputation for quality and excellence. I have an additional 20+ years’ experience in distribution/logistics management – with substantial successful experience in inbound and outbound management. I have a proven ability to improve quality, ensure timely delivery, reduce costs and improve productivity. I have a strong understanding of the logistics/supply chain/distribution profession, including services, pricing, competition, operations, technology, and human resource management. My management style combines visible example, training/delegation ability, and strong attention to detail. I enjoy connecting with other professionals on LinkedIn, discussing industry trends and best practices, and continuing my lifelong learning process.Certification in Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) & Sustainable Forest Initiative (SFI)Forklift Certified
