      I am a supply chain and distribution center operations optimization and automation consultant with over 25 years focused on helping organizations optimize their use of labor and space with new or modified business practices. I then help them modify existing IT systems or procure new ones to support these new best practices. I’ve had a lot of experience in 3PL e-fulfillment, food grade, and man-portable (forklift, reach truck, pallet jack) distribution and environments supported by RF and RF Voice WMSs. I’ve also worked with conveyor/sortation, carousels, pick and put-to-light. My background and experience are somewhat unique in that I have an MBA and an ability to communicate effectively with C level executives, I’ve been an IT programmer, analyst and DBA, so I understand and can interface effectively with IT staff, I’ve worked extensively with DC associates, line and senior management to manage and change floor operations, and I’ve worked in companies in many different industries in different countries giving me vital experience on how to get things approved and done in differing corporate cultures and societal contexts.
