About

I am a Program Manager and Industrial Engineer with 10+ years of experience driving large-scale operational, compliance, and data-driven programs across e-commerce, aviation, beauty, and manufacturing. My work blends process optimization, analytics, and cross-functional leadership to deliver measurable improvements in customer experience, efficiency, and revenue. At Amazon, I’ve led high-impact marketplace programs across thousands of brands and sellers, influencing $2.7B+ in annual revenue, improving CX performance by 375 bps, and driving $9.8M in incremental revenue through strategic fulfillment transitions. I specialize in building scalable mechanisms, SOPs, and AI-enabled automation — including launching an AI-powered analysis Slackbot that reduced manual work by 8 hours/week. My background spans data analytics, root cause analysis, forecasting, inventory optimization, and operational excellence. Prior experience at Southwest Airlines strengthened my expertise in working with complex datasets, predictive modeling, and data visualization using SQL, Alteryx, Python, and Tableau. Earlier roles in demand generation and manufacturing gave me hands-on experience in Lean, JIT, FMEA, workflow optimization, and leading high-performing teams. I’m a Six Sigma Green Belt passionate about continuous improvement and using data, systems thinking, and structured problem-solving to drive strategic decision-making. I thrive in environments where I can transform ambiguity into scalable processes, align stakeholders around a shared vision, and build programs that deliver long-term business impact.
