Background

About Jeff Billings

With over 25 years of experience in Supply Chain and Operations management, I specialize in logistics, automation, and process optimization across multiple industries. Currently, as Supply Chain Manager at Trident Seafoods, I manage logistics for 6 fishing vessels and 10 Alaska plants, overseeing inventory, procurement, quality control, and asset management, while leading teams to achieve operational excellence through strong communication and safety protocols. Previously, as a Project Manager at Invata Intralogistics, I led multimillion-dollar automation projects, including AGV Robotics integration, boosting e-commerce efficiency by 4x. At IKEA, I drove successful automation initiatives, such as a $10M pilot project that increased productivity by 30%, and optimized fulfillment processes across 14 North American centers. Earlier in my career, I served as Operations Support Manager, overseeing retail distribution centers and managing $140M in inventory, achieving less than 1% discrepancy. I implemented lean management practices, optimized shipping, receiving, and order management, and developed tools to reduce costs and improve operational efficiency. I bring a results-driven, data-focused approach to project management, team leadership, and process improvement, with a commitment to delivering cost-effective solutions and enhancing operational performance.
