I led two projects during my internship at Nutrilite.For the first, I focused my information gathering on fifteen key botanical raw materials. I took the two fold approach of discovering and utilizing public information and data bases, and leveraging our supply base to establish a continual flow of useful information.For my second project, I led a cross-functional team to develop a sourcing strategy for 7 green tea raw materials.My team and I set the strategy for how we are going to buy green tea over the next five years. We looked at every aspect of the material and the environment, from industry analysis to the internal consolidation of various green teas. I identified potential savings of more than $200,000.

I led two projects during my internship at Amway. The first was creating a strategy for bringing on new suppliers. I addressed the process for how Amway communicates with, informs, educates, prepares, and sets up new suppliers; who oversees and performs the functions of this process; and how this redesigned process fits in with existing supplier screening and supplier management. My second project was to create a tool where total spend could be analyzed all in one place, rather than having to go to multiple applications or reports, if the desired spend information was available at all.
