Some of my particular strengths include strong people management and leadership skills and an ability to collaborate well with various departments, physicians, and executives. I am also very goal-oriented and train highly productive teams who always deliver within our time lines. I believe in encouraging everyone towards success and like to share my knowledge to empower others to take action as appropriate.I have significant experience using Lean tools to improve operations. Operational improvement awards: VHA Supply Chain Innovation Leadership Award for using those skills in a warehouse redesign, HPG Operational Excellence Award for transformation of multiple facilities supply chain and GHX Provider of the Year for B2B efficiency improvements.
