Daniel-Stephen Gooley

I maintain a high level of accuracy across roughly ten thousand SKUs and $30 million worth of merchandise. I have also been responsible for adjusting the layout of the warehouse to optimize the picker operations, reduce mis-ships and shrink. I care very deeply for details, accountability and results. I enjoy thinking creatively to identify gaps in processes and to resolve unique and complex issues. My skillset extends to WMS data management, warehouse layout adjustments, data analytics, root-cause analysis, preventative problem solving, logistics engineering, velocity and sales analysis, loss prevention, and quality assurance. I am self motivated, results driven and capable of working as a lead, part of a team or independently. I regularly, and often gladly exceed the responsibilities of my job title to reliable effect.
