I work with small and mid-sized business owners and stakeholders to overcome growth related operating problems. These include transitions, supply challenges, physical and staff resource concerns, fulfillment, contract manufacturing, and logistics network optimization. I have been an independent consultant since 2008, and most engagements have led to Interim Executive positions to support operational execution. I am a member of InterimExecs 2017 RED Team (Rapid Executive Deployment), an elite group of C-level operations, finance, technology, marketing and sales executives who specialize in growing and transforming companies I offer the ability to apply major corporate tools and techniques, appropriately scaled for small and mid-market, growth oriented distribution and light manufacturing businesses. This is a successful formula, particularly with companies owning well-known and/or developing consumer brands, in omnichannel markets. It is my practice to complete my engagements leaving behind fully trained and effective team members. Successful projects are industry agnostics and have included the full scope of operations, including demand planning, in-house and outsourced manufacturing, purchasing, inventory optimization, domestic and international logistics, electronic order management and customer support. Direct industry experience includes consumer electronics, consumer goods, personal care products, office supplies and equipment, medical devices, medical supplies, children’s products, sailboats, industrial and consumer chemicals, and consumer services.
