ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT

"I evaluate work processes for efficiency and have overseen dispatch routines, leading to significant decreases in labor hours needed while simultaneously increasing volume of product handled. I supervise over 150 direct reports and am responsible for the coaching and development of numerous other "Amazonians". I credit the amazing faculty in the global supply chain program for my successful career. My capstone project gave me real-world experience where I was able to identify significant monthly cost savings for a local manufacturing company, which I have utilized in my current position to reduce electric consumption by 10% year after year."
