Global Supply Chain Leadership
I have managed large-scale warehousing and distribution operations across domestic and international supply chains, coordinating shipments by rail, trucking, and ocean vessel for a Fortune 5 company. At Exel Logistics, I oversaw a 500,000 sq. ft. facility handling over 65 million pounds of product, with daily shipments ranging from 750,000 to 1.2 million pounds across Asia, South America, Europe, and the United States.
Operational Excellence
Designed and managed work schedules, productivity tracking, and cycle counting initiatives that improved inventory accuracy and reduced waste.
Directed a workforce of 25+ personnel, leading interviewing, hiring, coaching, performance evaluation, and compliance.
Conducted qualitative and quantitative performance analyses to measure efficiency, customer satisfaction, and cost savings.
Process Improvements & Cost Savings
At North Star FoodService, I introduced best business practices that elevated the warehouse selection ranking from 60th to 1st nationwide, saving more than $225,000 annually in labor. I streamlined order forecasting, cutting three hours off daily work schedules (worth $75,000 annually in savings) and reduced warehouse shorts by 25% through root-cause analysis and improved staging processes.
Systems & Compliance
At Newell Rubbermaid, I completed Six Sigma Green Belt and DuPont STOP training, contributing to a facility record of 4 million hours without a lost-time injury. I supported distribution for multiple sites, including managing workload shifts during a major plant closure and coordinating the build-out of a 660,000 sq. ft. warehouse. Process redesigns reduced annual inventory shortages from $500,000 to $10,000, and I built a trailer tracking database that saved an additional $50,000.
Results That Last
Across these roles, my focus has been consistent: build efficient systems, mentor people into strong performers, and translate operational data into cost savings and service improvements. From supervising daily multimillion-pound shipments to formalizing new-hire training pipelines, my work in logistics and warehousing has always been about turning complex operations into repeatable, measurable success.
