About

I am a results-driven leader with a strong foundation in data analytics, strategic planning, and operational excellence. Currently, I serve as an Operations Manager II at Amazon, where I lead high-performing teams to optimize fulfillment center operations, improve efficiency, and drive continuous improvement initiatives. With experience in project management and analytics, I excel in fast-paced environments where I identify inefficiencies, streamline workflows, and improve performance through structured problem-solving. At Amazon, I use SQL and Tableau to analyze pick rates, cycle times, and cost per unit (CPU), driving my team towards optimized routes and reduced delays. I work closely with departments such as Inbound, Outbound, and ICQA to ensure smooth handoffs and resolve bottlenecks in real time. My ability to break down complex data into practical solutions has led to measurable gains in throughput, labor efficiency, and overall fulfillment speed. I am always looking to connect with professionals who share a passion for business strategy, financial optimization, and data-driven decision-making. Let’s connect!
