✰ Global Project Management ✰ Logistics Procurement ✰ Distribution Operations ✰Throughout my career, I’ve been instrumental in cultivating trust and continued growth within strategic global accounts in the specialized project cargo transport business. A supply chain leader with a track record of success managing P&L's, staff, and operations for global logistics firms, I have extensive expertise managing multimillion-dollar project logistics for highly specialized cargo. A logistics partner and licensed customs broker, I collaborate with cross-functional executives to develop and implement transportation and distribution strategy aligned with business needs, and possess expansive knowledge of international trade laws and customs regulations.Currently, I lead sourcing strategy and logistics project management as Director of Logistics for John S. James in North Carolina, where I have spurred 7-figure growth in less than 2 years. Previously, as President of Jumbo Transport International, I delivered systemic operational improvements and propelled sustainable growth from a P&L and strategic perspective for over 20 years. My extensive knowledge of international trade laws and customs classifications, combined with a results-driven and client-focused style, was the driving force behind continued growth for Jumbo in a competitive and constantly evolving industry. Negotiating extremely competitive rates and industry-leading service levels is my specialty. I take a consultative, partnership approach to each transport project and am always open to connecting with fellow industry leaders and potential customers with unique project cargo needs.
