About me
I work in packaging and supply chain sustainability, specializing in corrugated packaging reuse and circular material flows. My background is in packaging engineering, and I focus on helping manufacturers, distributors, and retailers reduce waste while lowering total packaging cost through reuse programs.
In my current role, I work closely with operations, sustainability, and procurement teams to source, qualify, and redeploy used corrugated packaging at scale. I’m particularly interested in practical circular-economy solutions that work in real-world manufacturing environments—not just on paper.
I joined this group to exchange ideas, learn from peers, and contribute where my experience can be helpful.
