Gibson Plumbing San Antonio, TX

Vice President, Internal Operations

Vice President 2019 to 2021; Director, Internal Operations 2015 to 2019

Hired to manage the Purchasing and Warehousing departments, then created and managed the Technology, Warranty & Safety, Risk Mitigation & Litigation, and Fleet & Facilities Management departments.

• Leadership. Managed six department heads across purchasing, warehouse, warranty, fleet, facilities, and technology, up from three at hire. Hired and trained several people into their first technical roles; two went on to become a software engineer at Amazon and an AI engineer at JPMorgan Chase.
• SOPs and process. Created the procedures for inventory tracking, receiving, cycle counts, pull sheets, material returns, and tool checkout, and completed 11 physical inventories.
• KPIs and reporting. Responsible for the company's non-revenue KPIs (purchasing, labor and materials as a percentage of sales, warranty, fleet). Wrote the BI dashboards used by every executive and hired a data scientist for the executive team.
• Purchasing and supply chain. Annual material purchasing grew from $16M to over $36M. Directly negotiated vendor discounts and rebates and signed the agreements, including a five-year national supply agreement and a national fixture rebate agreement. Created the direct shipment program (30% savings on fittings in its first year), and in 2021 held Gibson's costs flat through one manufacturer's market increase and another's third increase of the year.
• Production and fabrication. Ran package assembly and an in-house fabrication shop supplying about 3,000 houses a year: rough-in, top-out, and trim kits built to templates, with a time study of every warehouse task. I have not run a full production plant.
• Warehouse, fleet, and facilities. Ran a 35,000 sq ft warehouse. Fleet strategy for maintenance, aging, and acquisitions across more than eighty vehicles, brought into DOT compliance. Three office expansions.
• ERP and software. Led the SAGE 100 ERP implementation in 2017 (conversion from Contractor's Dream, 3,000 to 5,000 part numbers, new templates, inventory migration), then brought warranty, scheduling, inspections, and material checkout into the system. Created the IT department and a software team of three developers plus a data scientist from scratch. Custom internal and customer-facing applications (work-ticket creation, material checkout, crew QA) saved over 5,000 person-hours in 2020.
• Warranty and risk. Held warranty overhead growth to half the rate of revenue growth. Oversaw all litigation, mediation, and subrogation as the designated company representative for depositions.
• Peer exchange. Invited to exchange inventory and software practices with two peer contractors. In April 2019, spent several days on-site at Ridgeway Plumbing, one of Florida's largest plumbing contractors, and brought back daily cycle counting and the move to a SQL back end. A second exchange, with Kimbel Mechanical in Arkansas, was cancelled by COVID.
