Jesse Bourassa Email & Phone Number

Graduated from Keene State in 2010 with a degree in Business Management.Worked in wholesale grocery sourcing and replenishment for about four years. - After starting out at C&S Wholesale Grocers as an Associate Demand Planner, I moved to United Natural Foods in Chesterfield.- I purchased inventory from such vendors as Frito-Lay (Stacy's Pita Chips), Bob's Red Mill and King Arthur Flour. Then, I moved on to purchasing Whole Foods' private label brands for all of the dry grocery categories.In 2015, I decided to move away from the grocery industry, and began as a Demand Planner of Candle and Auto needs for Yankee Candle's customers in Asia and Latin America. I also planned the needs for Amazon.com's Prime division. - I used Oracle business reporting systems to pull sales history and statistical reporting, and the demand planning system, Demantra, is also Oracle-based. - I have flown to Hong Kong to present to our customers there about the process of demand planning, and have been successful at working with a team within opposite time zones. After being laid off in 2017 from Yankee Candle, I moved to a Buyer position at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, NH. - Currently, I buy and plan medical and surgical inventory for all departments within the Lebanon hospital, as well as affiliates in Concord, Manchester, Merrimack and Bedford, NH. - I work directly with certain departments to determine unique needs in relation to various patient populations, such as the Intensive Care Nursery and the Children’s Hospitals at Dartmouth (CHaD).
