25% faster go-lives for Fortune 500 companies—here’s how.

I turn supply chain chaos into your #1 competitive edge.

Over 16 years, I’ve partnered with global retail, manufacturing, logistics, and e-commerce leaders to drive results like:

25% faster WMS/OMS implementations—projects delivered in months, not years
18–30% boosts in system performance—getting more from your tech, every day
$15M+ in client savings—through smarter slotting, operations, and integration strategies

What sets my approach apart?

I don’t just optimize software—I unlock hidden profit in your supply chain by crushing delays, tackling integration headaches, and eliminating bottlenecks that stall growth.

Here’s what my clients say:

“Cut our deployment time in half—best WMS/OMS partner we’ve had.”
“We recouped millions in one year. Wish we’d called you sooner.”

Let’s stop the leaks and start compounding ROI.

I transform reactive supply chains into resilient, revenue-generating operations that scale.

With 5+ years driving supply chain strategy across manufacturing and technology sectors, I've built my career on a simple belief: Supply chains shouldn't just move products—they should move the bottom line.

INDUSTRY KNOWLEDGE:
Manufacturing | Construction Materials | Technology Hardware | Steel & Timber Commodities
📍 Master's in Supply Chain Management - Ross School of Business, University of Michigan

My approach is built on the SCALE Framework™—five principles guiding every supply chain transformation I lead:

SIMPLIFY: Complexity is expensive. I reduce vendor bases, streamline processes, eliminate waste, streamline processes and simplify design delivering $2M+ in cost savings by making the complicated simple

CHALLENGE: Status quo is the enemy of excellence. I question assumptions, push for innovation, and turn "that's how we've always done it" into "here's how we'll do it better" improving supplier reliability from 70% to 90%

ACCELERATE: Speed is competitive advantage. I compress decision cycles from days to hours through real-time dashboards and SQL automation transforming firefighting into proactive strategy

LEAD: I lead by example, not by title. Building bridges between procurement, operations, and finance to achieve 49% inventory reduction through shared KPIs and transparent communication

EMPOWER: I foster growth and enable ownership. Training 40+ employees, building automated tools, and creating systems that improved data accuracy by 90%—equipping teams to make confident decisions independently
