Hello

I've built my career scaling early-stage and high-growth startups, leading all facets of operations and supply chain across procurement, planning, co-manufacturing, logistics, customer service, quality, and systems. I thrive in fast-moving environments where clarity, structure, and execution are urgently needed, but rarely resourced. My approach is hands-on and tailored: I embed with teams to stabilize the chaos, solve the root issues, and implement systems that actually support growth.

From designing inventory and forecasting tools to restructuring order flows and negotiating vendor contracts, I’ve overseen the full operational stack. I’ve built MRP systems from scratch, implemented S&OP processes, led cross-functional product launches, and driven collaboration across departments to ensure operations isn’t just functional—but foundational.

Some examples of impact include:

​

• Executed a 2MM-case warehouse provider transition in just 7 days - $400K under budget -while implementing new controls across manufacturing, inventory, finance, and customer service

• Built an end-to-end MRP system that reduced inventory shrinkage by 22% and dramatically improved inventory planning

• Negotiated multi-million dollar packaging and freight contracts, reducing costs by 10–15% while locking in inflation caps and key service KPIs

• Automated invoice processing, EDI, and WMS integrations—eliminating over 65 hours of manual work weekly

• Reduced fulfillment and storage spend from 2.85% to 1.65% of revenue through strategic 3PL optimization and contract renegotiation

• Led customer service operations with a focus on improving order accuracy, reducing deductions, and aligning fulfillment with service-level expectations

• Delivered over $600K in margin improvements through vendor negotiation, planning refinement, and process optimization

• Supported 50+ new product launches with 25+ co-manufacturer and technology partners, ensuring operational readiness across sourcing, production, and fulfillment

• Served as a QA crisis team lead for infant products, building traceability protocols and rapid-response systems for high-risk categories

• Sourced and managed 100+ ingredients and packaging components across multiple vendors, optimizing cost, lead times, and supplier risk

I launched Rivora to offer flexible, embedded support to startups who need experienced leadership—but aren’t ready for a full executive hire. Whether acting as a fractional COO or stepping in to fix specific issues, I bring deep experience, operational clarity, and a drive to get things done.
