It’s been my good pleasure to know and work with Beth in one capacity or another since 2015. During this time she’s always proven to be a smart, eager and hard working resource that I could count on to take care of business - while also being a pleasure to work with. I have no hesitation in recommending Beth as a top notch candidate for any engagement that requires a very smart self starter, and I personally look forward to continuing to grow both our business and personal relationships into the future.

Although Beth's efforts in helping build Fulfillment.com from a start-up business to a fully functioning warehouse were immeasurable, here are some key highlights of programs implemented and progress made during her tenure: * Recruited, hired, and trained numerous employees prior to VP of HR being hired * Climate-controlled office build-out within existing warehouse space * Pursued and procured FDA registration for Savannah HQ facility * Implemented Quality Assurance/Quality Control procedures * Procured Canadian Site License for Toronto facility * Oversaw installation of climate control system to Savannah facility * Negotiated installation of, and full payment for, power transformer by GA Power * Implemented Quality Control program * Implemented a Performance Metrics Program * Implemented Process Improvement Plan and streamlined procurement efficiencies, reducing errors by 87% * Streamlined returns process and retention/destruction policies I wish her all the best in her new position and know we will still continue to have reasons to work together.
