My career is built on turning inefficiencies into profit opportunities — from delivering over $2M in cost reductions and managing $1B+ in inventory to leading global projects that delivery value and accelerate adoption. Earlier at Lowe’s, I founded and scaled the Supply Chain Solutions & Capabilities team, delivering 47 process and digital optimizations with enterprise-wide impact. This shaped my ability to build teams, drive adoption, and connect supply chain strategy directly to customer success.
