I am a supply chain and logistics leader with 16 years of experience building transportation operations, launching disruption-management programs, and scaling teams across North America and international markets.
I have developed capabilities in global procurement, carrier sourcing, business continuity, recovery operations, and capacity sourcing. My work has delivered measurable gains in transportation capacity, cost avoidance, service performance, and operational entitlement.
At Amazon, I created and led seven programs that supported an organization of more than 350 employees. I have built repeatable operating processes, automation frameworks, and technology-enabled tools for complex supply-chain environments.
I specialize in transportation procurement and negotiations across transload, drayage, port services, cross-border operations, and spot capacity. I have led carrier RFPs, negotiated major agreements, and launched new shipping lanes in Mexico and Canada.
I also use process automation, AI tools, root-cause analysis, and real-time operational platforms to simplify sourcing, improve visibility, and accelerate disruption response. My background includes leading large-scale event management, disaster relief logistics, recovery operations, and transportation teams.
Held the Senior Global Procurement Manager role at Amazon.com.
Built on prior supply chain and procurement leadership experience supporting transportation operations, global sourcing, capacity, and business-continuity capabilities.
Led carrier sourcing and negotiations for transload, drayage, port services, and cross-border transportation operations in Mexico and Canada. Partnered with Launch and Operations teams to translate business requirements into carrier RFPs and negotiated solutions, including a Canadian agreement that tripled space, doubled capacity, and saved $9 million.
Launched 54 Amazon Business shipping lanes in Mexico and led RFPs for new and expanding Mexico and Canada operations. Created eight AI-enabled tools for contract creation, negotiation feedback, audit automation, rate and capacity access, reporting, and transportation-market insights. Automated vendor controllership audits, built a real-time Mexico and Canada carrier/rate/capacity platform, created a Copilot dashboard, and developed a multimodal transportation-news platform.
Created and led seven programs, established operating processes, and led automation and integration into Amazon's supply chain. Led an organization of more than 350 employees as the portfolio expanded. Developed severe-event and business-continuity playbooks and PRECOG, a single-pane-of-glass platform for automating global severe-event response; the work realized $1 billion in entitlement and reduced EU response time from 162 minutes to 8 minutes.
Led spot-capacity sourcing, recovery operations, and disruption management. Created a shuttle procurement process that delivered $79 million in cost avoidance, reduced the cost premium from 49% to 28%, and improved SLA performance from 93% to 98%. Built recovery processes and a real-time disruption work-item system, led the Outbound War Room for more than 50,000 large-scale events, coordinated pandemic PPE logistics, and established Amazon Disaster Relief as a sole-source logistics provider.
Served as Amazon's operational liaison with UPS and FedEx.
Created UPS and FedEx trailer pools across the Amazon network and developed CPT lane-launch plans to support new-building launches. Received the Louisville Slugger UPS Award for work with UPS.
Led a nationwide refrigerated-transport operation.
Grew the fleet from 22 to 64 vehicles through customer growth, lane expansion, and improved utilization.
