Yehuda Gellis

Manager of Operations and Process Improvement @Diamonds International

I manage and support 30 employees in essential merchandising operations at the headquarters of this 130-store luxury retail chain, overseeing distribution of more than products to 25 regions in 20 different countries. I am also tasked with developing various efficiency improvement initiatives throughout the company, which I achieve through planning, effective delegation, and supporting an atmosphere of cooperation among team members, and working closely with other managers and company leadership. Some of these improvements have included introduction of new technology, product line branding, design and implementation of streamlined purchasing / manufacturing and inventory systems, development of a new dealer-accessible database system, and a comprehensive product pricing analysis. The changes have resulted in improved internal communications, faster restocking times, improved accuracy and accessibility of data, labor cost savings, and enhanced profitability.
