The Challenge

In logistics, especially for industries dealing with perishable goods, health, and food, compliance failure is catastrophic. The challenge is ensuring absolute adherence to regulations (USDA, FDA, Hazmat) while maintaining granular traceability (Lot Tracking) and achieving the operational speed required for modern fulfillment. A lack of executive oversight in this area exposes the business to massive fines, product loss, and irreversible brand damage.

Executive-Led, Zero-Tolerance Compliance

I specialize in building and leading logistics systems that operate with zero-tolerance for compliance breaches. My expertise is the result of years managing complex, multi-site cold chain operations that require absolute precision in handling, storage, and documentation from inbound receipt to final delivery.

Regulatory Mastery & Risk Mitigation

I design protocols that not only pass audits but ensure continuous operational adherence to the strictest industry standards.

• High Compliance Expertise: Expert in maintaining complex and critical regulatory programs, including USDA, FDA, OSHA, and Hazmat standards for food, nutritional supplements, and raw materials. World Class Audit results for SQF, AIB, ISO 9001:2015.

• Operational Control: My experience covers the entire cold chain spectrum, reducing financial and safety risk by preventing thermal failures and ensuring product integrity across all stages.

• Process Discipline: Utilized Lean Six Sigma Black Belt (LSSBB) methodology to formalize and audit compliance-critical standard operating procedures (SOPs).

Lot Tracking and Perishable Goods Integrity

I guarantee inventory integrity and traceability, turning potential product recall disasters into manageable, surgical events.

• World-Class Accuracy: Directed fulfillment systems that consistently delivered 99.98% order accuracy over nine years, which is non-negotiable for lot-tracked and time-sensitive products.

• System Integration: Deep experience implementing and optimizing WMS/OMS technologies (Veracore, Cargowise, Extensiv) specifically to handle lot traceability, FEFO (First-Expired, First-Out), and detailed cycle counting protocols.

Financial and Operational Stability

Compliance is not just a cost center; it's a foundation for profitable, sustained operations.

• Financial Alignment: Ensured high-compliance operations contributed positively to the P&L, managing budgets and achieving substantial EBITDA targets for scopes up to $500 Million.

• Contractual Assurance: Built robust vendor governance to ensure that 3PL/4PL partners meet all contractual compliance metrics, minimizing external risk exposure.

Core Compliance & Traceability Capabilities

• Lot Control & FEFO Management: Guaranteeing accurate identification and rotation of perishable and serialized inventory.

• Regulatory Compliance: Adherence to USDA, FDA, OSHA, Hazmat, SQF, AIB, ISO standards.

• WMS Traceability Implementation: System configuration and training for end-to-end audit trails.

• Quality Assurance Auditing: Continuous auditing of SOPs and processes to maintain compliance certifications.

• Risk Management: Executive leadership in incident response, damage control, and risk mitigation.
