OPERATIONS> DISTRIBUTION > LOGISTICS > SUPPLY CHAIN > BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

Offering more than 21 years of experience working in diverse areas of management, I possess experience across operations, logistics, supply chain, transportation, business development, team leadership, human resources, compliance, and more. Starting with the business in its infancy of both my professional career and site startups, for 15+ years I played a key role in driving new business, servicing existing accounts, improving efficiencies, controlling costs, and optimizing the allocation and productivity of all resources.

Spending the past few years as the Operations Manager for the Kroger Fulfillment Center, I worked alongside the Senior Supply Chain Manager to drive operational excellence. In this role I worked diligently to...

Identify opportunities to improve efficiencies and effectiveness through route (re)engineering and resource allocation.

Eliminate costly attrition by creating a team-centered culture with high morale, engagement, and satisfaction.

Drive new business and deepen account penetration, generating 99% client retention and production. Reduce inventory losses—due to out of date— SKUs and obsolete stock—through improved purchasing.

Cut fuel costs by double digits through optimal planning of routes.

Working for a the number one largest in its business with over 1000 associates, I had the opportunity to "wear" many hats. Through this l was able to gain experience in broad cross-functional areas, augmenting my foundational experiences which centered around logistics, transportation, and account management. What I have enjoyed most about my career has been the opportunity to assess organizational needs; to identify continuous improvement opportunities; and to implement the strategies and actions to drive unprecedented levels of efficiency, productivity, quality, and operational effectiveness.

At this juncture, I am seeking professional challenges exactly as set forth in your recent posting. I am confident it would be of value for us to connect—in-person or even over the phone—to further review of your needs and to confirm the “fit” I seek with my candidacy. Thank you, in advance, for the professional and courteous consideration.

With sincere interest,

Darryl D. Robinson
