Biography

Rutgers Business School

I am the son of immigrant parents and a first-generation college student. My first job was working for my father as an ice cream vendor and learning how to operate a small business. However, as you read my profile you will meet an accomplished leader with expertise in multiple facets of operations, project management, supply chain, customer experience, and data analytics. I am passionate about learning new things and challenging myself. Outside of work, I give back to the community by volunteering for America Needs You to support other ambitious first-generation students through professional development and mentoring.

My background includes multiple examples of achieving improvements by designing operational flows and optimizing processes. I enjoy solving complex operational problems and finding ways to improve processes to generate cost savings and improve quality.

In addition to my strategic abilities, you will see that I am a natural leader, coaching and mentoring teams to meet high expectations, and training multiple people for advancement to positions of increasing responsibility and scope. As an instructor, I am passionate about teaching and mentoring, and I find I learn a great deal from my students and colleagues.

My profile outlines my background and experience, including multiple examples of my specific accomplishments. It is my goal to bring my analytical approach, interpersonal abilities, and dedication to continuous improvement to advancing the goals of a forward-looking and growing organization.
