Summary

22+ years of experience in Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and Warehouse Conveyor Systems (WCS). Regarded as Subject Matter Expert (SME) for IT applications and Operations for warehouses in 6 North American locations.

I began my career with WMS in Operations managing a team performing material location optimization to facilitate efficient pick/pack/ship functionality. Additional responsibilities focused on warehouse configuration and new warehouse layout/design. This required that I work with facility management, engineers and IT to ensure desired facility flow was achieved.

After working in Operations for 12 years, I accepted a position in Information Technology as a Systems Analyst in support of the vendor managed application software used by WMS. My role in IT progressed to Information Technology Team Manager. Primary responsibilities include managing enhancement testing/project workload for a team of Sr. Systems Analysts, liaison between Operations and IT for new functionality/new warehouse implementations, manage software vendors delivery enhancement/bug fixes.
