Background

About David Malak

For nearly a decade, I served as Stockroom Manager at Data Electronic Devices, where I led a team of up to 23 employees, overseeing all aspects of stockroom operations, from hiring and training to scheduling, payroll, and performance reviews. I have a proven track record of managing substantial inventories (over SKUs) and implementing efficient inventory control processes, including daily cycle counts and liaison with third-party auditors. My certifications as an AS9100D Lead Auditor, ISO 9001:2015 Internal Auditor, and Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt underscore my dedication to quality and continuous improvement. Prior to Data Ed, I honed my skills in purchasing and inventory management at Turner Motorsport, where I managed a multi-million dollar inventory. I successfully implemented a cycle count program and a barcode system, using Microsoft Access, resulting in a remarkably low year-end inventory discrepancy of just 0.014% in 2015. This achievement demonstrates my meticulous attention to detail and my commitment to accuracy. My experience with ERP systems and my ability to analyze sales trends to optimize stocking levels and implement Just-in-Time inventory have consistently contributed to improved operational efficiency and cost savings. My experience also includes owning and operating Ocean Illusions, a part-time home based business where I developed strong customer service and sales skills, as well as hands-on experience in installation and maintenance of saltwater aquariums. This entrepreneurial background instilled in me a deep understanding of the importance of meeting customer needs and exceeding expectations. I started my career at K-S Auto where I was a driven sales professional with a passion for the performance automotive aftermarket industry and a proven track record of exceeding customer expectations. Expert in product knowledge and upselling techniques, consistently driving sales in a high-volume environment (100+ customers daily). Adept at building rapport with customers, understanding their needs, and providing tailored solutions. Experienced in handling commercial sales and special orders, service writing and purchasing as well as managing inventory and vendor relationships.
