The Challenge

In today's complex supply chain environment, an inefficient warehouse isn't just a cost - it's a massive competitive liability. Businesses often struggle with hidden costs caused by poor inventory accuracy, bottlenecked labor flows, and underutilized space. These issues directly impact customer satisfaction and erode profit margins, hindering strategic growth and profitability.

From Cost Center to Profit Engine

I specialize in transforming underperforming warehousing and distribution operations into lean, high-throughput, and financially stable systems. My experience is rooted in delivering measurable, world-class results across every critical pillar of modern logistics:

  • Operational Optimization & Efficiency: Applied Lean Six Sigma Black Belt (LSSBB) expertise, resulting in verified savings and revenue gains of over $1,000,000. My structural improvements reduced upstream redundancies and improved order processing speed by 2 days at 3PL contracted warehouses.

  • Inventory Accuracy & Technology: Successfully managed and optimized over 3.5 million square feet of space across nationwide 3PL and 4PL operations. Implemented advanced WMS/OMS technologies (Veracore, Cargowise, Extensiv) and created "House-In-Order" inventory systems, ensuring order accuracy consistently exceeded 99.98% over nine years.

  • Financial Performance & Strategic Growth: Managed, budgeted, and achieved substantial EBITDA targets for P&L statements of up to $500 Million. Grew contribution margin from 38% to 48% in one year through deep financial analysis and cost control initiatives, including a 41% reduction in COGS at a cold chain operation.

I don't just manage warehouses; I engineer them for exponential growth, stability, and a maximized valuation.

Why Patrick?

You're not hiring a manager; you're investing in an operational transformation partner who has a proven, executive-level track record in every phase of the business lifecycle—from startup growth to successful acquisition.

My experience includes establishing and executing exit strategies for two fulfillment businesses, one achieving 70% year-over-year growth and leading to acquisition by Rakuten. Whether you need a leader to stabilize a turbulent, multi-site operation or a consultant to implement a facility-wide redesign and major WMS/ERP integration, I bring the strategic foresight and hands-on execution needed to deliver immediate and sustainable bottom-line impact.

My experience includes optimizing existing facilities, opening Class A facilities, retrofitting warehouse and e-commerce fulfillment centers into non-traditional facilities (a former 1880’s era meat packing plant, a former granite mining cave in IL, a Pepsi bottling plant), and everything in between. It included negotiating leases and leaseholder improvements to right of first refusal. I’ve project managed several projects that required stripping the existing facility to make it ready for cold storage.

Core Competencies:

  • P&L and EBITDA Management (Up to $500M Budgets)

  • WMS/ERP Implementation & Logistics Technology Integration

  • 3PL/4PL Multi-Site Geographic Expansion (30+ Locations)

  • Cold Chain Logistics and High-Compliance Operations (USDA, SQF, ISO 9001:2015)

  • Vendor and Lease Negotiation (Secured a $1.5M line of credit)
