Cross-Functional Coordination & Process Improvement
• Serve as an operational bridge between Sales, Customer Service, Purchasing, Warehouse, Operations, Accounting, and other departments.
• Clarify ownership, deadlines, next steps, and escalation paths for customer-impacting issues.
• Turn recurring delays, errors, handoff gaps, and unclear ownership into practical, repeatable process improvements.


Sales Enablement, Marketing & Events
