I collaborate with key intracompany partners to accurately understand project requirements, define efficient implementation strategies, and effectively solve project issues. I effectively helped guide my current employer and our team through the Covid-19 pandemic, during which our company's stock needs and revenue quadrupled. When business slowed down, I worked to scale down warehouse inventory and keep sales at profitable levels by moving more purchases to direct shipments. I then was instrumental in implementing a change of ERP programs to Oracle Netsuite and balance our warehouse stock to direct ship requirements.

I sourced and negotiated the procurement of inventory for resale within the company's sales and financial goals. I helped develop and meet product management goals. I was in charge of training the team and backing up the purchasing manager. My biggest accomplishment as Senior Buyer was navigating through 2020 when the safety business grew exponentially.

I was the office manager for Guardian EMS Products. I handled financial reports, customer service, order processing, purchasing, sales support, A/P, A/R, and Payroll.
