Queen Creek, Arizona, United States
ASU graduate with a background in logistics, materials, and supply chain management. I work hands-on with carriers, customers, and internal teams to keep freight moving and margins intact. My role centers on building and maintaining a reliable carrier base, securing freight for contracted partners, and negotiating pricing directly with customers. I work closely with sales and leadership on pricing decisions for larger accounts, using market conditions and actual demand rather than theory. I monitor EDI activity daily and step in when data or execution breaks down. Lean Six Sigma training has been useful here—mostly for fixing problems quickly and preventing repeat issues, not for presentations. I’ve worked across e-commerce, transportation, real estate, and construction environments. That mix has helped me understand how different operators think and what they actually need from logistics. I’m comfortable handling ambiguity, tight timelines, and issues that fall outside a job description.
- Built and managed a high-performing carrier network at national scale, with a core focus on West Coast lanes, sustaining 100–200 active carriers to ensure consistent capacity in volatile market conditions. - Drove brokerage profitability through disciplined carrier sourcing and rate negotiation, balancing service reliability with margin protection across contracted and spot freight. - Partnered closely with sales and leadership to support pricing strategy for large and complex accounts, using real-time market conditions, demand signals, and execution constraints rather than theoretical models. - Took ownership of high-risk and difficult lanes, stabilizing coverage, preventing service failures, and maintaining customer confidence during periods of tight capacity and rate pressure. - Actively monitored and intervened in EDI and execution exceptions, resolving data, tracking, and billing issues before they escalated into service or revenue impact. - Recognized internally for strong operational judgment, accountability, and results, particularly in handling time-sensitive freight, margin-critical moves, and issues extending beyond standard job scope. - Operated as a senior individual contributor, combining hands-on execution with process improvement, focused on speed, reliability, and sustainable profitability rather than volume alone.
