About Jim Zakar
Solving logistical problems with limited amounts of information is my specialty!As a Supply Officer for the US Navy, I have developed extensive experience in operational logistics research analysis, petroleum management, supply chain logistics, distribution management, and innovative leadership. My career has taken me from a Midshipmen and varsity football player at the Naval Academy, to operating afloat on a Guided Missile Destroyer in the Arabian Gulf, to playing a key role in the logistics efforts in Afghanistan, to the emptiness of Antarctica resupplying the McMurdo Science Station, and through it all I found ways to overcome, adapt, and excel.My professional strengths are: • Excellent communication, presentation, teambuilding and leadership skills • Ability to work effectively in high visibility, high risk environments • Proven ability to interpret, evaluate, and advise senior officers and officials of issues impacting all areas of responsibility • Consistently recognized for the ability to think analytically, exceed goals, and to influence and motivate other team members
