►My Areas of Expertise— I am key senior manager who excels at strategic organizational and supply chain management. I have built a solid reputation for business unit transformation and driving the end-to-end delivery of key critical initiatives with a commitment to customer success. During my 25-year tenure, I have been instrumental in contributing to the success of multiple mergers and acquisitions, fully-integrating systems and processes into the existing enterprise with little to no downtime. I oversee multiple warehouse operations across a global supply chain business to provide first-in-class inventory management, forecasting, and planning, increasing revenue and decreasing lead-times. I am an SAP subject matter expert and successfully co-led a multi-system enterprise merger/consolidation project. ►My Added Value—I am a highly-regarded and loyal employee with more than 25 years of dedication through multiple promotions and an unparalleled commitment to driving business success across the same organization. My extensive experience in the global marketplace has allowed me to work extensively in the U.S. and in Germany gaining expertise in multi-cultural business practices. I enjoy working with diverse teams and experiencing new cultures and people. I am fluent in German and English, with some basic French. ►What Drives Me - I am a passionate hands-on manager and leader. I have proven success transforming underperforming teams, warehouses, or business units into high-performing and profitable business units. From the beginning of my career as a chef and into my current position within a multi-billion-dollar global company, my leadership skills have spoken volumes about my drive and ability to lead. Seeing that come to fruition through cohesive collaboration, high-efficiency, low turnover, and increased revenues motivates me to succeed and help others to grow each and every day.
