About Me

A seasoned logistics and supply chain executive, with experience in Asia, Europe, and the United States, possessing extensive knowledge of international and domestic logistics, and a proven track record of accomplishments with well known high-end consumer electronics, fashion apparel retailers, paper and packaging products manufacturers, and international forwarders.

Prior to embarking on this consultancy career, my full-time corporate positions included Vice President of International Services for Kellwood New England (a division of Kellwood Company – a $2.6 billion manufacturer and marketer of apparel and consumer soft goods), and executive / management positions at Saks Fifth Avenue and Saks Incorporated, The Sharper Image, and Jefferson Smurfit Group, now Smurfit-Stone Corp.


With an additional 15 years of logistics experience in Europe, I co-founded and was the managing director of a successful international express transportation, warehousing, and forwarding company. I also held various positions at other international forwarding companies.
