A committed management professional with extensive experience in improvement planning and change management in operations, warehouse and distribution environments. Achieved accomplishments through the preparation, implementation and management of a $5 million yearly operating budget for a 345,000 sq. ft. distribution centre with 160 union and non-union employees, successfully reducing supply purchases by $80,000 in the first year without compromising efficiencies. Proven ability in analyzing operations performance to determine areas for improvement, growth and competitive advantage was instrumental in the implementation of a computerized vendor rating system to a quality control inspection process which reduced overall departmental operating expenses by approximately 48% and salary expenses by approximately 38%. Seeking an opportunity to plan, organize and direct, through a customer focused team, warehouse / distribution and operations activities, by utilizing my distribution management experience with developed abilities in team leadership and problem solving, which is supported by numerous professional development courses, including the York/CALM executive program in logistics management as well as extensive commitments to community volunteer service.
