in the United States

With over 16 years of experience across industries as far-ranging and disparate as aircraft maintenance, ecommerce fulfillment, oil and gas, immigration law, healthcare, and education, among others, am proud to be entering a fourth year as a one-hundred-percent, location-independent consultant. I endeavor to continue to LEARN HARD and WORK HARDER! I have led multiple global organizations that range in size from 50 to 300 personnel and specialize in e-tail, e-commerce, and retail migration. I also have a 'traditional' logistics skillset, especially when it comes to aircraft operations, airframe logistics, project management, inventory control, and continuous process improvement. Bottom-line is that I produce high-quality work on time, on cost, and on spec and which is backed by not one, but TWO Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certifications (USAF and GE). I have a Bachelor of Science in Foreign Area Studies with a minor in Russian and general engineering as well as a Master of Science in Logistics Management. I completed all coursework for my MBA at Strathclyde Business School in Scotland in September 2019. I am a bibliophile and runner that is passionate about leadership, learning, management, think tanks, writing, politics, and current events. Thank you in advance for your time.
