About Blaise Dennis

I am a versatile professional with a strong background in supply chain and logistics management, specializing in strategic sourcing and project coordination. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a proven ability to optimize business processes, reduce costs, and lead cross-functional teams to achieve operational excellence. My experience spans managing complex workflows, developing standard operating procedures, and enhancing efficiency in fast-paced environments. At DB Schenker Inc. I managed over 70 air and ocean shipments daily, valued at over $500 million. My efforts in reworking dispatch processes led to a substantial reduction in overtime and errors, enhancing operational efficiency and customer communication. I also proposed a process improvement to consolidate emails by Master Airway Bill, projected to reduce email volume by up to 75%. During my tenure at Manhattan Beer Distributors, I oversaw the routing of daily deliveries to over customers, contributing to significant cost savings and operational improvements. My collaboration with drivers and managers optimized route planning and reduced gas usage, while my efforts in the shipping and fulfillment department ensured timely deliveries and optimized truck routes. In my role at Garvies Point Museum and Preserve, I managed daily operations in the gift shop and admissions, directed a team of volunteers, and increased client participation in programs. My creation of comprehensive SOP documents and training for staff facilitated smooth transitions and improved operational efficiency. I hold a Master of Business Administration with a concentration in Supply Chain Management and a Bachelor of Business Administration in Management from Adelphi University. My professional development includes certifications in Lean Six Sigma, Dangerous Goods, and Global Procurement and Strategic Sourcing. I am skilled in various technologies, including Microsoft Office Suite, Advanced Excel, and Road Net Routing Software. My expertise lies in supply chain management, procurement, logistics, and data analysis, with a strong focus on continuous improvement and stakeholder relationship building.
