Bio
Mark Dugan
When Tom was hired to manage Distribution and Logistics at American Fluorescent, he quickly reorganized operations, improved on time shipping and steadily improved logistics performance and cost management. He expanded operations and to a satellite warehouse then to a second shift to accommodate business growth. Tom was promoted to Manager, Supply Chain & Logistics on the strength of his performance. With the Great Recession, we had to re-organize and Tom’s position was consolidated. Tom plans and manages resources expertly, and staffs talented people. He has a strong technical background in his field. He is self-directed, sets goals and gets things done. I recommend him.
Chris Serak
Tom is a top notch Manager. When I hired him he took over the distribution and logistics function at a time of significant disarray in these departments. He quickly reorganized and stabilized the department. On time shipping began improving almost immediately and freight costs were quickly brought under control. He continuously worked to improve costs both internally through process improvements and externally through negotiations. Tom would be an excellent asset to any organization; I have the highest regard for him both as a manager and a supply chain professional.
