Career Summary My career in operations management has provided me
with great opportunities to control bottom line
spending, increase productivity, decrease
loss/damage, and increase the level of customer
service within the distribution center's I've
managed. I am a valuable resource because of my
ability to utilize systems to maximize
efficiencies, as well as, communicate effectively
with IT resources to install enhancements in the
programs. My background in operations management,
as well as, my involvement with multiple
