While taking a moment for self reflection, I've come to the conclusion that my childhood dream of becoming the most influential person, like Buckaroo Banzai, isn't available. Or, if it is, it's a non-posted position filled by a select group of individuals who pick from a select group of individuals, . . . and I don't know the secret handshake. In preparedness for when I do join that select group, I’ve become comfortable with many hats in my career – technician, quality assurance inspector, program manager, operations manager, production supervisor, buyer, trainer, consultant & analyst, director of business development & sales, and logistics manager. I have an MBA, in progress of a doctorate, and a willingness to learn from anyone. As a result, I have a unique ability to manage multi-disciplinary projects and complex challenges, but experience has taught me that I most enjoy performing as a supply chain consultant, solving the myriad problems that develop within. I’m currently interested in hearing from colleagues, managers, or other creative individuals (and anyone who knows the handshake), so feel free to contact me if you’d like to connect.Specialties: Supply chain management , inventory, and contract management, training and employee development, process improvement, strategic sourcing, supplier negotiation
