My military background includes commanding logistics units supporting 1,500+ personnel, managing multimillion-dollar equipment fleets, and overseeing strategic readiness for real-world missions and deployments. Whether in uniform or in industry, I bring a mission-focused mindset, disciplined execution, and a commitment to operational excellence. Core Strengths: Operations & Supply Chain Management | Process Optimization | Cross-Functional Leadership | Lean Manufacturing | ERP Systems (SAP, Oracle)| Logistics & Maintenance | Risk Management | Defense Industry Support I’m passionate about leading teams, solving operational challenges, and building systems that scale. Always open to meaningful conversations that align with my background in operations, logistics, and strategy — especially where military precision meets business impact.
