My expertise spans warehouse management, last-mile delivery, inventory planning, demand forecasting, and vendor relations, ensuring operational excellence from end to end.

I am highly skilled in data-driven decision-making, using tools such as Excel, Power BI, SAP, OTM, and advanced reporting dashboards to provide actionable insights for revenue growth, operational efficiency, and customer satisfaction. By translating complex data into strategic initiatives, I enable organizations to reduce bottlenecks, optimize workflows, and scale efficiently in competitive markets.

Adept at leading remote teams and cross-functional projects, I excel in environments that require autonomy, accountability, and strong collaboration across operations, sales, marketing, and product teams. I bring a strategic mindset paired with hands-on execution, capable of designing processes, mentoring teams, and implementing scalable solutions that align with business goals.

I am now focused on leveraging my combined logistics expertise and data-driven approach to contribute to innovative, remote-first organizations seeking operational excellence, measurable growth, and sustainable impact.
