Past procurement experiences include retail buying within brick-and-mortar companies and most recently with Walmart eCommerce. Functionally, eCommerce is consulting-centric and has evolved into a very competitive landscape. Optimizing the technical aspects of this industry while analyzing financial data, negotiating, and coordinating multiple growth strategies simultaneously for numerous stakeholders in a cross-functional environment is what success looks like in this field. I excelled at this work by consistently watching for gaps in trends, gaps in eCommerce platforms, and gaps in data integrity. Sharing this information to capitalize on opportunities with internal and external partners, with frequent communication, is how I achieved 40% year-over-year growth targets.
