Meet David Pacheco Transportation Planner
“David exemplifies Emser core values, whether it is developing useful reporting to help branches or working with Supply Chain, he is always willing to provide support to anyone that asks. And sometimes even when he’s not!” – Mark Seal, VP of Global Sourcing. Tell us a bit about yourself? I grew up in the Los Angeles area, where I started my career in transportation, about two years after high school. After hav- ing a career in transportation for roughly 10 years in various roles from customer service, billing and supervising freight claims, I decided to go to college. While in college, I worked as a transportation coordinator. I graduated from Pitzer College with a major in Organizational Development. I wanted to go into Training and Development or Human Resources, however, given my experience I stayed with Transportation. How long have you been with Emser? Eight years What work accomplishments are you most proud of? Our push for freight revenue starting in 2020 was very suc- cessful and has continued to be successful to date. This was a result of the efforts of the transportation team with support from our field. In the last year, I have functioned as a utility member for our supply chain team and have provided support related to Inventory (Forecasts, Sales Reviews) and Transpor- tation (Carrier Rates, Revenue, Expense Review). What motivates you? Having opportunities to develop. New goals, new ideas and working on projects to help drive out those ideas. What advice do you have for others on your team? Make as many connections in our organization as possible. Emser, just as other organizations, is built on the concept of synergy. You may not hear feedback and only some concepts stick, but the worst thing to do is to think your ideas won’t matter and keep them to yourself.
What do you like to do in your spare time? Any hobbies, etc.? I moved into a new home last year. I started to take up gardening, home improvement and cooking. I do enjoy traveling (mostly between CA and FL). I work-out five days a week. Sometimes I go to the batting cages which in itself is a workout. I stopped playing Softball during COVID but I plan to start again this fall. I’m also a Dodg- ers fan, I watched games with my dad growing up and still catch them nightly when available. Any fun fact(s) that you’d like to share about yourself? When I was in elementary school my dad brought home an old computer, he picked-up at yard sale. It didn’t have games on it, but it did have a copy of Lotus 1-2-3 (IBM’s version of Microsoft Excel). I would turn it on and input random numbers into the sheet. When I was in high school, I originally wanted to go into software develop- ment or some form of IT. I’m always excited and trying to keep up with the latest technology, and have built com- puters for friends and family.
