Bio
Margie Mitchell
Lee was the best Operations Manager in our organization. As a senior sales manager I always counted in Lee to show my customers the operation at its best. His rapport with sales team as well as with customers was best in class. He’ll be a tremendous asset to anyone lucky enough to get him.

I worked with Lee while I was in Postal Affairs at UPS Mail Innovations. My home office was in the GA facility he managed. His attention to each package that came through the facility and the cleanliness of the facility was impeccable. I was responsible for reviewing a Service Failures report with Operations and Transportation each week. Lee’s facility was always one of my highest performing facilities. He was great at training his team by teaching them various aspects of his job in hopes that they would one day be promoted. In addition to managing his UPS team, he also had to manage and budget for temporary staff in excess of 100 people on a daily basis based on an estimated volume of mail. Lee has the ability to quickly resolve unexpected issues that may prevent the mail from leaving the building such as machine breakdowns, power outages, truck breakdowns, processing computer issues, and more. His attention to details, quick responses, and leadership skills enabled him to successfully run his facility and ensure customers like you and I received our packages in a timely fashion. He would add immense value to any organization!
