With over seven years of experience in procurement and sourcing, I am a passionate and driven professional who strives to deliver value and quality to my organization and internal/external customers. My core competencies include supplier management, cost savings, risk assessment, and negotiation. As a Senior Direct Procurement Partner at Thermo Fisher Scientific, I work with a global team to support the company's mission of enabling our customers to make the world healthier, cleaner, and safer. I bring diverse perspectives and experiences to the team, as I have a background in business administration, logistics, and supply chain management.In my current role, I am responsible for driving company profitability through cost savings initiatives, leading large scale resourcing and value engineering projects, monitoring supplier performance by analyzing KPIs, and completing supplier risk assessments and audits. I have received certification for completing Thermo Fisher Supplier Audit Training and Scotwork Negotiation Training, which have enhanced my skills and knowledge in these areas. I also leverage my previous experience as a Sourcing Lead at Thermo Fisher, where I was a leader on a large scale supply chain consolidation project, and as a General Manager at Fastenal, where I managed all sourcing and procurement activities for the largest customer account in San Diego. I have demonstrated teamwork, reliability, and logistics management skills throughout my career.
