EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Director-level supply chain and operations leader with extensive international experience designing and scaling end-to-end supply chains for technology, security, e-commerce, and industrial businesses across the US, Asia, and Europe. I have built and run multi-site production, fulfillment, logistics, and hub operations, including greenfield and turnaround environments, and have been directly accountable for on-time delivery, inventory accuracy, and data integrity across ERP, WMS, and TMS platforms. My background includes nearly 15 years with UPS plus director-level roles with high-growth startups and 3PLs (Lazada, Ninja Van, QuadX, Logistech/LOCAD, ReturnKey) and global manufacturers (GKN Automotive and Aerospace, STMicroelectronics, American Standard / Ideal Standard, Nokia). I have delivered CFO-verified cost savings exceeding $138M, improved inventory turns, and sustained on-time dispatch and delivery levels above 99% by redesigning networks, standardizing SOPs, and building KPI and dashboard frameworks that link field, warehouse, and carrier performance directly to financial results. Recognized as a subject-matter expert and mentor, I focus on recruiting, mentoring, and upskilling high-potential managers, establishing scalable processes and controls, and using ERP/analytics to create a single source of truth for transactions, inventory, and tool utilization in fast-paced, high-growth environments.
