He was a professional from start to finish: responsive, thoughtful, and deeply knowledgeable. His understanding of supply chain systems, vendor management, forecasting, and operations is the real deal. Alvis not only identified key opportunities for improvement, but also helped us build a roadmap to scale simply and efficiently. He’s been instrumental in helping us lay the groundwork for a resilient, high-performance supply chain and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again (and probably will)."
