With more than 16 years of experience in purchasing and sourcing, I am a procurement expert who can manage inventory, negotiate prices, and source materials for industrial products. Currently, I am a Senior Buyer at Valmont Industries, where I oversee the purchasing of raw materials, components, and services for various projects and customers. Previously, I was a Sourcing Specialist and a Purchasing Buyer at Marianna Industries, where I handled all categories including components, chemical, sundry and MRO categories, and achieved significant cost savings and improved supplier relationships. I have strong skills in relationship development, cost savings, and procurement, and I enjoy working with cross-functional teams to deliver quality products and services. My mission is to optimize the supply chain and ensure the best value for the organization. I am passionate about finding innovative and sustainable solutions for the industrial sector.
