About

I've spent 16+ years building and leading end-to-end logistics and supply chain operations at global scale — warehousing, fulfillment, inventory control, and 3PL network management across some of the world's most demanding eCommerce environments. From co-leading Mercado Libre's first fulfillment center in Latin America, to directing multi-channel inbound, outbound, and returns operations across the US, Europe and China at Trafilea — I've taken on roles where the mandate was to build what didn't exist, fix what wasn't working, or scale when the business needed to grow. My expertise spans the full operational stack: warehouse design and ramp-up, ERP/WMS integration across 3PL networks, inventory accuracy, shrinkage control, SLA management, and strategic alignment between supply chain, demand planning, and commercial leadership, as well as defining new logistics network strategy and scaling businesses. Today, I'm leading the operations optimization across the globe, inventory strategy and digital transformation of logistics operations — identifying where AI and automation create the highest leverage, and implementing solutions that eliminate bottlenecks, sharpen decision-making, and give leadership real-time visibility into what matters. 🔹 16+ years leading logistics operations, warehousing, fulfillment, and supply chain strategy 🔹 Track record at Mercado Libre (LATAM), Walmart, Miebach Consulting, and Trafilea 🔹 Expert in ERP/WMS integration and multi-site 3PL network management at scale 🔹 Driving AI adoption and automation to transform complex logistics operations 🔹 Passionate about building organizations and systems that perform under pressure and scale with the business If you're rethinking how logistics operations should work — or applying AI to supply chain — let's connect.
