Currently living in Sicily, ItalyPersonal Statement:As a manager, visionary and entrepreneur in a highly competitive environment, I am very sensitive to the need for a creative, yet organized and deadline-oriented approach in terms of planning, progress and productivity. Coupled with a resolute attention to detail and focus on quality, the end result is a top notch product and wholly satisfied customer.Most of my business background comes from the fast-paced, ever-evolving and heavily regulated world of beauty care products, where I have been fortunate to work with both domestic and international partners. But I also have experience in seasonal gift wrap, extrusion, printing, and liquor repacks (not as fun as it sounds). And though much of that work has involved the usual supply chain functions: forecasting, material requirements planning, procurement, inventory management, I have also served on the steering committees for two software implementations (SAP and Oracle), oversaw the new product development process, been instrumental in the improvement of best business practices, and outsourced a $50M kitting and assembly operation. None of which would have been possible were it not for my broad range of writing experience and ability to communicate across multiple departments and platforms, and at all levels of business and management.
