About Brandon Kemp

As a Green Belt Certified logistics leader, I’m skilled in implementing strategic supply chain, operations, and staff development plans that support targeted growth and budget objectives for multibillion-dollar companies. My areas of expertise include 3PL, warehouse management, distribution, inventory control, safety, and transportation. DEVELOPER OF PEOPLE & TALENT. I was a late bloomer and didn’t have a clearly defined career path in college. I already had the work ethic and luckily, Cintas was willing to invest in me. My faith has led me to do the same for others. My success is directly tied to the ability to inspire a team to achieve its goals. At Aramark, two (2) of my direct reports progressed into general manager roles. Since then, I’ve continued to build strong processes that boost staff morale while reducing turnover. FOSTERING A CULTURE OF EXCELLENCE. I have a deep level of emotional intelligence. The gift of reading people has been pivotal in closing deals and growing and retaining business. Regarded as an “A Player”, I thrive when I’m building cohesive relationships with customers and executive-level stakeholders while meeting challenging deadlines for multiple projects. Because I lead by example, my team is inspired to accept accountability for decreasing expenses, maintaining compliance, and guaranteeing inventory accuracy. I BREAK PROBLEMS DOWN AND SOLVE THEM. I was hired into several roles throughout my career to reverse declining revenue and generate six-figure profits. I’m always designing plans for reviving underperforming markets by implementing performance improvements, setting clear objectives, and utilizing consultative selling methodologies to increase year-over-year revenue.
