Bio
Adam Rudolph
I worked with Jody in the past at Superior Beverage where he had multiple roles and wore many hats. His hard work, persistence and drive is how he has become successful at every stage in his career. His most recent position has been with Heidelberg where he has become a logistical genius and has transformed their warehouses into well oiled machine's! Jody has helped transition multiple locations into having smooth delivery days and also helping boost driver/warehouse morale. Jody would be an asset to any organization and will continue to have many years of success because of his insight and out-of-the-box thinking!

Jody is a visionary with a wide-ranging knowledge base who quickly see a more efficient method for achieving objectives. I recommend Jody for any position given his persistence and his superior time management skills. Time and again I’ve watched him achieve every goal he sets for himself and his team. Jody’s leadership style lends to an ability to see all members of an operation as customers. His keen ability to adjust plans as circumstances change leads to a successful experience for everyone working with him. Bottom-line, Jody gets it done. I can say with confidence Jody will continue to be an advantage to any organization employing his services.
