    Novato, Ca
    When I came on board with BioMarin in 2008, they had been experiencing rapid growth. I was initially hired in a temporary capacity to eliminate the backlog of work that had resulted from a purchasing department that was not adequately staffed to meet the company's rapidly expanding needs. I caught on quickly and was hired for a permanent role after just three months.I managed inventory and pruchases for more than 200 direct and indirect products needed for the manufacturing process, and I worked closely with Accounts Payable to make sure all suppliers were paid on time. I made sure that purchasing department continued to meet needs as the company further expanded from 700 employees to more than 1,000. BioMarin develops and commercializes pharmaceuticals for serious diseases and medical conditionsAs the company experienced rapid growth, an online procurement system became necessary. I led the iProcurement system implementation team, which increased purchase order efficiency 80%. I trained more than 200+ users of the system including creating training manualsAs we transitioned to iProcurement, I developed a purchasing approval hierarchy, which significantly shortened the requisition approval process.By serving as the Purchasing department lead during the company's Oracle ERP implementation, I was responsible for making key decisions about system codes; I also served as the department's super user.

  • Camelbak
    Logistics Manager
    Camelbak May 2004 - Oct 2007
    Petaluma, Ca
    Camelbak is a manufacturer of hydration equipment. I was brought into the role of Logistics Manager to spearhead the daily supply chain shipping activities including creating commercial invoices and identifying the correct Harmonized Tariff Codes for importation into the US from both Mexico and Asia. I also managed the company's freight forward contract.In an effort to accurately calculate pack freight costs, I created a system that factored in the volume of boxes, the number of products per container, and the ocean and air freight costs. This information allowed the company to better control costs and make more accurate financial decisions regarding freight.One of our clients needed product samples overnight. I addressed this challenge by purchasing last minute plane tickets and personally delivering the samples myself.
