About David
I help critical industries where smooth logistics are essential for production, finances, and customer trust.
With a background in manufacturing and global projects, I bridge supply chains, IT systems (like ERP), and team collaboration. Clients usually bring me in when their logistics are chaotic, new software causes issues, or their third-party logistics partners struggle.
My expertise includes:
- Ensuring logistics work during ERP upgrades.
- Aligning operations with system setups.
- Managing third-party logistics providers.
- Boosting inventory accuracy and material flow.
- Getting different departments (operations, procurement, IT) to work together.
I blend hands-on operational know-how with solid project management. My approach is practical and focused on getting results: spotting risks early, executing clear plans, and delivering measurable improvements without disrupting your daily business.
Clients value my ability to quickly adapt, clarify confusing responsibilities, and stabilize performance, even under pressure.
I work independently, always focused on reliable delivery, managing costs, and creating lasting improvements.
I'm available for short- to medium-term projects, particularly for ERP logistics changes, stabilizing operations, or leading supply chain initiatives.
