About

Professional summary

I am an Industrial Engineer and operations leader with more than 13 years of experience managing production, warehousing, fulfillment, and distribution operations. My background spans high-volume 3PL environments and FDA/ISO-regulated medical-device manufacturing in the Mexico–US border region.

I lead multi-site operations, production planning, capacity planning, labor utilization, and KPI-driven performance improvement. I have managed teams of up to 170 employees across multiple shifts and facilities, with responsibility for operational budgets, P&L reviews, client service, and executive reporting.

I bring hands-on manufacturing engineering expertise in equipment and process validation, including IQ, OQ, PQ, and MVP. I have led new product introductions, line transfers, fixture design, Poka-Yoke implementation, root-cause investigations, CAPA/NCR responses, and continuous-improvement initiatives.

My operational results include 95% schedule attainment, 100% on-time shipments, 99.5% inventory accuracy, a 1.5% scrap rate, and a reduction in operator turnover to 5% through structured cross-training and certification programs. I use Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, Kaizen, 5S, VSM, Kanban, and data-driven problem solving to improve safety, quality, cost, and delivery.

I am experienced with WMS and ERP systems including ShipHero, Odoo, and Macola, and have worked closely with software developers to improve warehouse workflows. As a native Spanish speaker with conversational English, I am comfortable supporting bilingual teams, cross-border logistics, and client relationships across Mexico and the United States.
