Most logistics tech fails long before it gets to the warehouse floor.

Not because the wrong tech stack was picked, but because there was no strategy to begin with, or the one they had never made it out of a slide deck.

I help 3PLs and retailers modernize fulfillment operations by bridging the gap between logistics strategy and execution, so tech initiatives don’t just launch, they actually work.

As Partner & Chief Strategy Officer at FulfillmentIQ, I lead teams that deliver high-stakes tech transformations for logistics leaders under pressure to scale. We specialize in WMS/OMS implementations, platform integration, and internal tool development- led by experts who’ve run warehouses, not just studied them.
 
I’m also the creator and co-host of the eCom Logistics Podcast where I’ve had the privilege of talking to some of the most smartest leaders in fulfillment and retail logistics; unpacking what’s actually working in the field and what’s just noise. Millions of impressions later, it’s become the go-to resource for logistics operators and tech leaders.

I also co-founded Ladies Who Logistic, a 700+ member network driving visibility, mentorship, and leadership for women across the supply chain.
 
What I’m focused on:
	•	Reducing implementation rework and accelerating time to value for logistics transformation
	•	Leading digital innovation initiatives that align ops and IT, from pilot to P&L
	•	Building tech that works in the real world, not just on paper
	•	Creating spaces where women in logistics lead, scale, and thrive
	•	Driving strategic conversations that shape how fulfillment systems are built and scaled

Recognition:
🏆 Top Retail Expert (RETHINK Retail, 2025 & 2024)

🏆 Shopify Top eCom Influencer
🏆 Business Elite 40 Under 40
…and others, but results always speak louder.
