I am a multi-passionate businesswoman with a background in Logistics. My passions have lead me to successfully run my own business with a global and celebrity clientele, report segments on the news, consult businesses, and ultimately leave Corporate America to run my family's company, Electro Soft, Incorporated. Grounded in over fifteen years of experience in the field of Supply Chain Logistics covering both the retail and electronics industries, I have been able to have an incredible career with positions in distribution management, purchasing, global scheduling, Kanban and supply chain management. Electro Soft, Incorporated is a premier electronics contract manufacturing firm. Specializing in OEM and military requirements, ESI is a leader in PCB, cable, enclosure, and wire harness assembly. It is a minority and veteran-owned small business concern, located in the suburbs of Philadelphia with clients that span the globe. Our customers include leaders in the OEM Industrial marketplace, as well as all branches of the U.S. military. As the EVP I have developed and executed an acquisition strategy which led to a 20% increase in gross revenue within one quarter. I continued as COO increasing revenue by 20% year over year for two years straight. I am now CEO.
