Operating Partner

Top Management

As a global supply chain professional with 25+ years of experience in consumer products and retail organizations, I feel myself an ideal contender for a senior level Logistics or Supply Chain role.

I fully understand that timely service delivery, customer service-oriented attitude, strong team building, and cost containment create a great impact on any organization’s reputation and success.  I believe success is obtained by proactively planning and leveraging the knowledge and capabilities of the team.

Throughout my career I have been accustomed to assuming increasing responsibilities. I have a verifiable track record of managing and handling activities related to developing team members, setting strategies, reducing cost, and providing exceptional service to both internal and external customers. Over the course on my career, I have worked for organizations ranging in size from Fortune 100 organizations to start-up that required organizational and network development. I have been recognized for creating, negotiating, and implementing successful global and domestic policies, procedures and objectives.  My background includes successfully starting up 4 greenfield warehouses (3 in the US and 1 in the UK), selecting 3PL partners to expand both distribution and transportation capacity, initiating a seasonal fulfillment strategy to handle peak surges, and developing team members to further their careers. The success that I have achieved throughout my career is a result of partnering with my fellow leadership team to expand and deepen the relationships with the company’s key customers and vendors.

I would like to meet with you in order to ascertain your expectations and establish the relevance among your needs and my abilities. In case you feel the need of speaking to me earlier, please contact me at (704) 200-0033.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
