In my current role as Operations Manager at Global Edge, I have been an integral part of this company’s startup
in Canada as an exclusive distributor for “The Honest Company” product line and brand recognition. My
responsibilities include incorporating past experiences across order processes, purchasing, inventory control
management, logistics and warehousing and distribution in order to effectively establishing key process and
procedures for all operations.
Most recently as Director of Inventory Control and Purchasing at California Innovations Inc. I was instrumental
in developing corporate processes and procedures which were implemented at all levels of the warehouse
management, resulting in >500% growth in revenue during my tenure.
I have extensive local and global supply chain, logistics and operations management experience and was an
integral part of the due diligence team for two international mergers which resulted in the purchase of California
Innovation’s largest competitor, ultimately contributing to securing their position as “the world’s largest producer
of soft sided insulated products”.
My knowledge and experience includes procurement and production planning based on forecast and demand
analysis, in addition to inventory control training and implementation on warehouse management systems which
have seen inventory accuracy improve to over 99%.
As an extremely dedicated individual with a work ethic second to none, coupled with a vast amount of knowledge
and experience in operations and management, I am enthusiastic about joining your team and look forward to
meeting with you to discuss my qualifications further. I can be reached at any time during the day or evening
on my cellular phone (416) 803-5170.
Thank you for your attention and consideration.
