Logistics

The Challenge

Logistics is more than moving goods; it's the strategic coordination of inventory, compliance, carriers, and cash flow across vast distances. Companies often struggle with fragmented domestic and international operations, leading to excessive landed costs, customs delays, poor visibility, and weak negotiating power. The executive requirement is a single, unified strategy that optimizes every leg of the journey, from source to customer.

Single-Point Control Over Multi-Modal Networks

I specialize in designing, managing, and optimizing end-to-end logistics operations, turning complexity into a competitive advantage. My expertise delivers verifiable financial and operational improvements across domestic velocity, global compliance, and strategic transportation management.

Strategic Network Design & Scale

I build and scale logistics networks designed for maximal throughput and efficiency, both nationally and globally.

  • Nationwide Expansion: Successfully managed the logistics, warehousing, and transportation for nationwide 3PL and 4PL expansions across more than 30 locations, proving the ability to manage complex domestic scaling.

  • Network Management: Managed and optimized over 3.5 million square feet of facility space across multi-site operations, integrating these physical nodes into a cohesive, optimized logistics network.

Financial Control & Cost-of-Goods Reduction

I leverage negotiation and process rigor to ensure logistics costs directly enhance the bottom line.

  • Profit & Loss Management: Directly managed and achieved substantial EBITDA targets for P&L statements up to $500 Million, with logistics strategy being the primary lever for cost control and margin growth.

  • Quantified Savings: Completed cost reduction initiatives resulting in a verified 9% savings per order and achieved a dramatic 41% reduction in COGS by leveraging advanced logistics and cold chain optimization techniques.

  • High-Level Negotiation: Extensive experience negotiating master service agreements and rates with major domestic and global parcel, LTL, and Truckload carriers (FedEx, UPS, USPS, etc.).

Compliance, Technology, and Integration

Logistics excellence requires integrating technology with adherence to stringent regulatory standards.

  • WMS/OMS Expertise: Led the integration and optimization of critical logistics technologies (Veracore, Cargowise, Extensiv), ensuring system accuracy and seamless data transfer essential for cross-border documentation.

  • High Compliance: Expert in managing highly regulated domestic and international freight, including USDA, FDA, OSHA, and Hazmat standards, de-risking the supply chain.

Core Logistics Capabilities

  • Multi-Modal Transportation: Strategic oversight of Small Parcel, LTL, Full Truckload, and international freight planning (import/export documentation, customs coordination).

  • 3PL/4PL Vendor Management: Global and domestic carrier and third-party logistics partnership selection, auditing, and performance negotiation.

  • Reverse Logistics: Designing efficient processes for handling domestic and international returns and refurbishment.

  • Global Ready Strategy: Building networks and processes for domestic companies looking to expand overseas or international companies seeking to optimize US distribution.
