It is my pleasure to recommend Daniel Kemp for his never-ending commitment to customer satisfaction, producing results and going the extra mile to support a company he worked for for many years. Over my thirteen years with Amcor and Orora Packaging Solutions, I have had the pleasure of working with, and recently managing, Daniel Kemp in his role as Project Manager working out of our Sacramento division. Six months ago I was promoted to the role of Regional Vice President, Operations for Orora’s Northwest Region, which included responsibility over the division at which Daniel worked. Daniel has held successive roles over his career with Orora, including Customer Service Manager, Warehouse Manager, Project Manager, and Operations Manager. This has enabled him to build a very well-rounded background and base of experience on which to execute on any new challenges thrown his way. He has clearly learned from each role, and brings a fresh perspective to the issues and opportunities in our competitive environment today. Recently, Daniel was singularly responsible for managing the aged inventory process across all nine distribution divisions in our region. During his time conducting sales representative inventory reviews and holding weekly meetings with the local management team, our aged inventory reserve declined to its lowest level in the past five years. Daniel provided guidance and a relentless attitude toward achieving our inventory targets which was directly related to the inventory result we achieved. Additionally, Daniel stepped up to support the implementation of our SAP ERP in a number of divisions, embracing the change and facilitating training across multiple roles including warehouse (WM) and assembly (PP Lite)

I believe Daniel is a key contributor and can add value to any organization. Please feel free to contact me at 562-***-**** or adbwu0@r.postjobfree.com with any other questions. Thank you for your time. David Forrest
