About Philip Mitchell

Our ability to grow is directly proportional to an ability to entertain the uncomfortable"-Twyla Tharp As a team leader at Whole Foods Market, I prioritized providing top-tier customer service by curating the best selection of natural and organic specialty products. Achieving this required collaboration with diverse teams that were dedicated to being knowledgeable, innovative, and agile. Team strength has always been a cornerstone of my approach and continues to drive my professional mission. In my current role as a Supplier Merchandising Specialist at United Natural Foods (UNFI), I focus on understanding our customers’ evolving needs and aligning our resources to meet them effectively. My responsibilities include supplier freight support, optimizing freight strategies cross-functionally with account managers and inbound logistics teams, and ensuring seamless database entry to maintain accurate and up-to-date information. I also leverage Microsoft Suite tools, including Microsoft Access, to analyze data, streamline workflows, and enhance operational efficiency. By combining technical skills with collaborative problem-solving, I contribute to our goal of building lasting partnerships across the supply chain. I am a graduate of Southern New Hampshire University, earning a Bachelor of Science in Operations Management with a concentration in Logistics & Transportation. Outside of work, I enjoy cooking and exploring new restaurants. I’m also passionate about film and jazz music.
