SPEAKERS
Distribution operations are complex. The systems are the easy part. Getting the people, processes, and culture aligned is where the real work happens.
As Eastern Canada DC General Manager at Best Buy Canada, I oversee a 1.1 million sq. ft. automated facility processing 30 million units annually from Manitoba to the East Coast, supporting 300+ retail locations, white-glove last-mile delivery, and eCommerce fulfillment across one of Canada’s largest retail distribution networks. With direct P&L accountability for a $57M operating budget and close partnership with transportation, demand planning, merchandising, and multi-channel logistics teams, my role extends well beyond the four walls of the DC.
Over 15+ years in high-volume distribution, I have led complex operational transformations in Canadian retail logistics, including full WMS modernization, AutoStore automation implementation, and the insourcing of eCommerce fulfillment. I measure success not only through throughput and cost metrics, but in the strength of the teams and leadership pipelines built along the way.
Developing leaders is as central to how I operate as driving operational excellence. Throughout my career I have invested in structured coaching, individualized development plans, and programs that identify and grow talent from within, consistently building succession depth and maintaining a fully internal hiring record.
What energizes me most is building a winning operational program, the strategy, structure, people, and culture, and driving it through every level of the team until it becomes the way the business operates.
