Alpine Fresh, Inc.Operations Manager
Jan. 2000 - Jun. 2009Miami/Fort Lauderdale AreaAs an Operations Manager, I have successfully overseen the continuous and efficient operation of harvesting sheds located in several key agricultural regions, including Guatemala, Brazil, Peru, Argentina, Ecuador, and Mexico. My role involved intricate coordination of inbound cargo logistics, ensuring that products were transported via air, land, and sea without interruption. I managed shipments arriving through critical U.S. ports such as Tioga Marine Terminal, Port of Miami, Port Everglades, Port Hueneme, and Long Beach, as well as major airports like Miami International and LAX. By closely collaborating with customs brokers, I handled all required documentation and compliance procedures, which facilitated the seamless importation of goods. My diligence in staging products for arrival minimized delays and ensured that operations ran smoothly. Additionally, I implemented robust inventory control systems across multiple warehouses throughout the U.S., optimizing storage solutions and reducing operational costs by tracking stock levels and demand patterns. My efforts not only improved efficiency but also strengthened our relationships with international suppliers and logistics partners, thus enhancing our overall supply chain effectiveness.
