A people-first leader, he fosters a strong safety culture, positive associate relations, and a collaborative environment while consistently delivering exceptional customer service that exceeds key performance indicators.

Under his leadership, CLS has grown its food-grade and value-added services, launched two new facilities in California and Georgia, and strengthened its position across consumer goods and light industrial markets.
“From cargo fraud and natural disasters to ever-changing food safety regulations and increase in tariffs and cost of goods, many of today’s supply chain leaders are faced with a number of challenges. But it’s their resilience, hard work, innovation and attention to quality, sustainability and food safety that separates these rock stars apart from everyone else,” says Marina Mayer, editor-in-chief of Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive and co-founder of the Women in Supply Chain Forum.
