Summary
Dynamic Operations Leader with a strong record of transforming performance, developing people, and simplifying complex workflows. At Amazon, I improved inventory accuracy by fifty two percent and elevated a struggling shift from the lowest overall rate to the top performer in the building. Known for deep diving issues, standardizing processes, and coaching leaders to deliver results, I thrive in high demand environments where data, ownership, and problem solving drive success. Beyond operations, I bring expertise in SOP creation, cross functional partnership, training design, and continuous improvement, with a leadership style built on clarity, mentorship, and raising the bar.
