I’ve spent my career in procurement/supply chain overseeing key aspects such as: strategic sourcing, purchasing, planning and supplier management for global companies. My background in sourcing, contract negotiation and purchasing of machined parts, outside processing, commodity goods, capital equipment, IT, electronics, bearings, cable, wire, MRO parts, displays, lighting and building improvements which has given me a wealth of experience and knowledge to contribute to corporate initiatives and attain goals. I am recognized as a leader who has a history of transitioning teams from resistance to collaboration as well as the ability to build and retain strong vendor/supplier and customer relationships. Such as: • Strengthened inter-department relationships, through establishing recurring monthly stakeholder meetings that solved issues and set clear understanding of team expectations. • Established new supplier relationships for launch of new platform (commercial aircraft) and developed ongoing framework for relationships with suppliers starting with RFQ/RFP. • Improved adoption of MRP/ERP system (Oracle), providing review of assigned categories with team members to show that MRP signals matched 80-90% of from legacy system (Excel) totally transitioning the team to the new MRP for all future orders gaining their confidence in the system.I’m always interested in making professional connections.
