With over 10 years of experience in merchandising and category management, I have developed and executed procurement strategies for various product categories, driving sales and margin growth in demanding retail environments. I have also built and maintained strategic relationships with suppliers and stakeholders, and coordinated and resolved issues related to supplier quality, delivery, cost, and inventory. My mission is to deliver value and efficiency to my organization and customers through effective sourcing and procurement.In my most recent position as a Buyer at Beauty Manufacturing Solutions Corp, I managed the purchasing, planning, and inventory of packaging components for personal care products that generated over $300M in annual revenue. I leveraged my skills in retail math, problem solving, and communication to ensure requirements and deadlines were met, and to negotiate optimal pricing and terms with suppliers.
