📌 My Leadership Philosophy "That which we persist in doing becomes easier for us to do — not that the nature of the thing is changed, but that our power to do is increased.” - Ralph Waldo EmersonI am a forward-thinking leader who thrives in settings where I can use my "out-of-the-box" thinking skills to solve everyday business challenges. I enjoy motivating others, whether it be on the production floor, in the warehouse, or a 1x1 feedback session, I find great joy in building team and organizational capabilities and helping individuals meet their goals.My BackgroundI bring over 15 years of experience in business, shipping, and warehouse operations for Malouf Companies, a bedding wholesaler with products available in over 15,000 retail partner locations in the U.S.In my current role as the Vice President of Distribution for Mobix Logistics, a third-party logistics partner, I oversee end-to-end distribution process, from warehousing to logistics and fulfillment. Serving in this capacity has allowed me to make a direct impact on our daily business operations, which in turn has improved employee culture, productivity, revenue, and customer satisfaction.One of my greatest strengths is my ability to build genuine and authentic relationships with each member of my team, establish trust, and foster an environment of open and honest communication. I believe by investing in our people, they will invest in Mobix.Career Highlights 🏆✓ Grew business operations from zero to over 70 people across 5 locations in 2 to 5 months through strategic planning, cross-functional collaboration, and process re-engineering.✓ Built a strong talent pipeline through rigorous screening, recruitment, training, and retention initiatives–establishing Malouf as one of the “Best Places to Work” 4 years in a row (Glassdoor).✓ Successfully launched and onboarded up to 500 employees at 5 new locations (1 million sq. ft.) in < 4 years, helping 2 sites become fully automated.Areas of Expertise 🎯✓ Workflow & Process Optimization✓ Talent Development✓ Multi-Site Operations & Team Management✓ Growth Strategy✓ Technology & Automation Outside of work, I love spending time with my wife and three amazing sons.
