About Sam B.

After a decade in logistics, I know a lot of the ins and outs of all things supply chain. Each day presents a new challenge in which I get to work hand in hand with customers in order to create solutions that are effective and efficient.I have worked for 3 of the top 15 3PLs and 2 of the top 5. That foundation of knowledge combined with a rentlentless work ethic have allowed me to excel in my career. My second to none customer service is what I am known for.Pre-COVID, I worked as an onsite liaison for a full outsource comprised of 30+ Business Units. I traveled from plant to plant consulting on best practices, continuous improvement opportunities, and problem resolution. I am skilled in Negotiations, Operations Management, Logistics, Business Development, and Customer Relationship Management (CRM). I am a strong sales professional with a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) focused in Economics from UNC Greensboro.Professionally, I have worked on all sides of the supply chain. From carrier sourcing for FEMA to data analysis for large customers. I have the ability to design and implement solutions for all customers big and small. Let me show you what I can do for your organization!
