I am a dynamic, innovation-driven business executive who has built an extensive track record of success driving transformations in logistics, IT, operations, and other key business areas to achieve new levels of performance for my companies. As such, I possess a wide breadth of experience and the vision to be instrumental in positioning groups as disruptive forces within highly competitive sectors. As a leader, I am an exceptional problem-solver who is able to think outside-the-box to develop solutions and overcome business challenges of all sizes and complexities, which was showcased most recently as I partnered with a team to respond to changes necessitated by the pandemic by building a new quick ship WFH system from the ground up and enable Knoll, Inc. to exponentially grow their B2C business. I also excel at building, training, and optimizing the productivity of teams committed to achieving operational excellence. My focus is always on creating strong work cultures that promote engagement, innovation, professional development, and collaboration as keys to success. A few of my core strengths include: Senior-Level Leadership Supply Chain Management Transportation & Logistics Business Transformation Operational Excellence Enterprise Systems Master Data Management (MDM) Strategic Planning & Analysis Project Management Budgeting & Cost Control Continuous Improvement Team Building & Leadership Staff Training & Development Cross-Functional Collaboration Complex Problem-Solving
