About

Is your company in need of a global logistics and trade leader who can drive logistical excellence, rapid operational results, and strategic business development projects to success? If so, please consider me a strong executive candidate. I can replicate similar results for you by capitalizing on my experience and strengths in maximizing fiscal, operational, and people performance as well as navigating my organizations through various international business challenges and the high cyclicality of the metals market.

Having provided direction and leadership overseeing business transformation and crisis planning with rapid response troubleshooting to ensure seamless logistics operations, I know what it takes to guide top-notch teams to success, deliver sweeping process and cost efficiencies, and mitigate operational risks.
A few notable career milestones include:
• Most recently as the Director, Global Ocean Containers for Sims Metal (a Division of Sims Limited), I streamlined operations for the company’s North American container business and served as a prominent figure in integrating and on-boarding several new acquisitions valuing over $250 Million.
• In addition, I ensured that Sims maintained its ranking as a JOC top 100 exporter (#15 in 2023); propelled DIFOTIS metrics from 50% to 90%+ on-time shipments within 1 year; owned the export logistics process within the company’s global ERP rollout; and orchestrated innovative strategies to keep inventory moving and sales contracts fulfilled during the global pandemic.
• Previously as the National Director, Container Logistics at Schnitzer Steel Industries, I played a critical role in restructuring the commercial sales team while driving compliance and training, which earned Schnitzer recognition as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies for 6 consecutive years. I also expanded our destinations from a limited number of SE Asia ports (primarily in China) into 19 different countries by 2020; this boosted volumes from <200 containers/month to >800/month within the first 5 years.
• During my tenure with Schnitzer, I also turned 2 brokerage subsidiaries of Schnitzer Steel into ISO 9001 certified suppliers to China in order to meet the strict new requirements of Chinese Customs.
• In earlier roles at Sims Metal Management, I played a key role on the transitional management team as this small, family-owned recycling company (Naporano Iron & Metal Co.) grew into a mid-sized corporate entity (Metal Management) and subsequently into a multibillion-dollar global corporation.
I’m now exploring challenging leadership opportunities and would welcome the opportunity to further discuss how my skills and experience align with your current and future needs. Please reach out so we can connect. Thanks!
