Pope & Clark Sustainment
Meet Dee
Owner/CEO
Building on more than 26 years of experience as a multi-functional logistician in the United States Army and 4 years as a supply chain executive, I felt compelled to continue my service of “GIVING BACK” all that I had learned through the creation of Pope & Clark Sustainment.
While serving as an Army Multi-functional Officer, I developed my expertise through the four logistical learning areas of supply chain management, defense industry base management, life-cycle management, and logistical planning.
My goal was to ensure success by leveraging my technical skills and ability to understand and apply those skills at the right moment. Success required honed conceptual skills, which enabled me to adapt to changing situations while integrating various aspects of sustainment functions. I am an innovative, proactive leader who has worked in asymmetric and unpredictable environments where time available for mission analysis is constrained, and sound, timely decisions were required.
Shortly after retiring from the military, in 2017, I created Pope & Clark Sustainment, which focuses on 3 areas that are key in today’s social and economic platform: Warehouse Operations Consultant, Last-Mile Delivery service, and Commercial Cleaning service.
I earned my B.A in Foreign Languages and Cultures with a focus in French from Western Illinois University. While serving in the U.S. Army, my leadership and professional development was divided into three domains: institutional learning, training, and self-development. Below outlines some of the certifications I obtained and associations the company is affiliated with:
