I lead omni‑channel operations and end‑to‑end supply chain for scaling retail and wholesale companies, delivering measurable gains in sales, margin, and inventory productivity across North America, LATAM, and the UK. My strength is aligning product, process, and people into a unified operating system that drives commercial performance and improves licensed‑brand portfolio productivity.I focus on building organizations that run efficiently and scale cleanly. Through optimized SIOP, disciplined import logistics, and high‑throughput warehouse execution, I create operational environments where teams execute with clarity, throughput increases, and disciplined processes translate directly into financial results.
