I’m a supply chain professional with 8 years of experience in both Operations and Purchasing. I currently hold B.B.A. degrees in Supply Chain Management and Computer Information Systems at Western Michigan University. I understand the value of the bottom-line and I always look for ways to reduce cost. Throughout my professional career, I have gained adequate transferable skills to ensure I am successful in any industry. Until recently, I was a Buyer for Backwoods Retail, concentrating on Men’s and Women’s Apparel. In this role, I primarily focused on forecasting trends, vendor management, and ecommerce and sale pricing strategies. To be successful as a buyer, I needed to achieve 80% sell-through on preseason merchandise while meeting inventory and sales goals. Previous relevant experience includes working as an Operations Manager at F&E Aircraft Maintenance. (Please see below in profile)Colleagues know me as an excellent problem solver who can always be trusted to produce results. I spend time understanding the business and the process to ensure my problem-solving solutions are at the highest quality. I recognize the importance of meeting goals and strive to ensure KPI are inline with organizations expectations. I’m efficient and productive working alone but I am at my best collaborating and brainstorming with others.I’m currently freelancing while I pursue new opportunities and can be reached via email at Kingaderek@gmail.com, by phone at 269.365.3479 or this profile.
