Lawrence Burns’s Expertise I am a contemporary leader who believes that Winning is Everything and Losing is Nothing (but a lesson). I am privileged to have led talented associates to reach our collective potential. My career includes multi-functional management roles in intermodal containerized ocean/land transportation. Most recently, I am consulting with importers, exporters, attorneys, investment fund analysts and intermediaries. In 2022/3, I've consulted as an expert witness, advised on ocean carrier rate, service and digitization/automation trends. In 2021, I completed a Request for Proposal and negotiated ocean carrier contracts for a small & midsize Importers securing direct ocean carrier relationship and estimated transportation savings of 35% for 12 months. As well, I finished an exporter's Request for Proposal, negotiating direct ocean carrier annual contracts and a customized Master Service Agreement that will stabilize ocean transportation spending and secure new service concessions improving operational efficiency. Prior to consulting, I led HMM's North America Sales & Trade organization improving its customer portfolio development with an increase of Transpacific Eastbound volume by 220% and Transpacific Westbound volume by 87% of targeted goals in an export to China market that declined by 40%. I led trade pricing functions to secure 115% of financial contribution goals. My initiatives were realized by Goal Setting, KPI's, Organizational Structure Changes, Process Improvements, Campaigns and New Trade Platforms implemented. I developed relationships with high profile importers and exporters securing new contracts with Amazon, The Home Depot and Dorel in 2019 that led to tripling the contract with Amazon and doubling with The Home Depot in 2020. I designed and executed the transition of 6 branch offices to home offices saving a forecasted 500K annually in infrastructure costs.
