Michael Baumgartner Email & Phone Number

As an impactful, analytical, and data-driven Category and Procurement Manager, I have an established record of saving companies money and building strong relationships with vendors from many different markets. An empowering manager and thoughtful leader, I am able to create a work environment that helps build up any Buyer or Category Manager into a team player that drives results and creates a difference in procurement. From my knowledge of procurement and my background in business sustainability from ASU, I can create value by leveraging cost and risk management in situations where growth and vendor relationships are key. I build strong procurement solutions and strategies in business that have been an essential part of growing companies' procurement strategies for the past 6 years. I am always looking for opportunities to expand my professional network and look forward to making a difference in procurement.
