About

I support clients through clear communication, strong coordination, and steady follow-through. My background spans Client Solutions, Account Management, and Implementation support, with a focus on setting expectations early and ensuring teams have what they need to deliver. I bring more than 15 years of experience managing client relationships, updating SOPs, preparing QBRs, resolving issues, and keeping projects moving across global logistics and supply chain environments. I’m organized, direct, and comfortable stepping in quickly when something needs attention. I’m most effective at the intersection of clients and internal teams, where clear ownership, practical solutions, and consistent communication make the difference between friction and trust. I care about doing the work well and being someone people trust when things get complex.
