About

On the record

Experienced Chief Operating Officer (COO) and VP of Strategy with a proven track record in driving operational excellence and strategic growth. With a diverse background in operations, business development, and strategic planning, I bring a unique set of skills and expertise to any organization. As the COO at Laline America, a global boutique store chain, I have been instrumental in advancing the company's online presence and expanding into international markets. Through meticulous market analysis, I have identified high-end skincare brands and strategically determined new store sites, resulting in the successful opening of 12 new locations in 2022. By effectively managing day-to-day operations, including employee management, shipping and receiving, customer service, accounts receivable, marketing, and order fulfillment, I have ensured seamless business processes and elevated customer satisfaction. A notable achievement during my tenure as COO was implementing employee outsourcing, resulting in a remarkable 30% reduction in payroll costs while maintaining operational efficiency. Additionally, I have successfully negotiated and managed over 15 global manufacturing and distribution contracts, fostering strong partnerships with countries such as China, Turkey, Vietnam, Mexico, Israel, the United States, and Puerto Rico. These collaborations have not only optimized the supply chain but also facilitated the delivery of high-quality products to customers worldwide. With my comprehensive background in operations, bizops, and strategy, I bring a versatile skill set to any organization. I am adept at analyzing market trends, identifying growth opportunities, negotiating contracts, and implementing cost-saving initiatives. My proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerBI), SQL, and Python further enhances my ability to leverage technology for data-driven decision-making and process optimization.
