About Me

10+ years of experience with global and mid-size e-comm retail organizations

Hi - I'm Jennyffer Ruiz. Nice to meet you virtually! I am so glad you landed on my page. If you're in need of some guidance or curious on how to get things back up and running in your supply chain world, I'm here to help! But first, a little about me...

 

Back in 2011, admist economic turmoil I embarked on my logistical and transportation journey, following my time up in Buffalo, NY with the New York State Department of Transportation as an Urban Planner - to start out in the supply chain field as a Logistics Analyst with FreshDirect. I transitioned my analytical skillset in working with Prinicipal Engineers in setting up routing systems, analyzing customer order trends, and developing delivery zones for next-day delivery services in the NY/NJ metropolitan areas to jump-start my skillset in warehousing and logistics operations at Amazon.

 

I quickly navigated from analytics, to operations, and served as a first hire for PrimeNow at Amazon. As an Area Manager, in the Manhattan, NY Metropolitan area, I served to launch and open same-day delivery services. This allowed me to increase my knowledge in delivery, inventory control, in-network and out-of-network transportation controls, and accelerated my supply chain knowledge in vendor management and associate warehousing development for 300+ associates.

 

After uprooting an entire building in the NY hub, I transitioned to a global scale within the confectionary world. Working as North America's Commercial Quality Logistics Manager for premium chocolate maker Ferrero (maker of Rocher, Nutella, Tic Tac, and Kinder Joy) I had the opportunity to implement Transportation Quality Controls applicable nationwide and internationally in Canada and Puerto Rico. Regulatory food defense laws were absorbed while there to ensure warehouses, distribution centers, co-packers, re-packers, co-manufacturers and consolidation points (pool points) all abided with FSMA, BRC, and SGS regulations, leading to my certification in Lead Internal Auditor FSSC 22000 v5
ISO 22000:2018 and Preventive Controls Qualified Individual (PCQI).

 

In the later half of my career, I switched back gears to work on higher level roles as Director of Logistics at Target (in Middle Mile) and start-up company Misfits Market / Imperfect Foods (online grocer, First, Middle, and Last Mile). Now, after 13 years, I am excited to give back and help those wanting to learn more about supply chain management processes or logistics as a consultant!
