Tell us about yourself and your journey to work in International Logistics.
I’m based in Chicago, fortunate to share my life with a supportive family and two incredible young kids. Professionally, I bring over 16 years of experience in IT Leadership, primarily in the Logistics space. I’ve always been passionate about leveraging technology to solve complex business challenges, a journey that started right out of college and has taken me through managing global teams and transforming IT landscapes for better business outcomes.
My entry into the logistics and technology sector was propelled by a blend of curiosity and opportunity. With a background in consulting, my first steps involved immersing myself in understanding the intricate challenges of the logistics space.
I sought out projects that allowed me to work closely with logistics firms, leveraging my IT expertise to streamline operations, and enhance efficiency. This hands-on experience, combined with a commitment to continuous learning and adapting to technological advancements, paved my way into a specialized role in the industry.
I started working for ePost Global when it was still RR Donnelley. Starting my first steps in processing parcels in the warehouse, I learned a lot in the short period in the warehouse. I went from sorting mail, processing parcels, and prepping Canadian shipments to becoming a customer service representative.
