I have been a buyer at various levels over the past twenty years. This has enabled me to negotiate more favorable pricing while purchasing products that have always been well received per spend analysis, negotiation, collaboration with budget controllers and building relationships with previous and new vendors. I also have tremendous experience in product forecasting, sales analysis, and inventory planning in complex matrixed environments.A go-getter is somebody who makes the effort to personally interact with all teams to communicate and determine ways to make breakthroughs. One of the largest contributions I have made to increase company productivity and bring global teams together was to create an internal company-wide audio podcast to highlight the superstars at Infragistics. Over a nine month period, the project exceeded my own expectations with a 65% engagement rate and increasing global collaboration in the process. Work culture and employee engagement is my passion and expertise, and I want to continue to assist businesses that are having issues recruiting and developing talent as well as engaging their employees to reduce the cost of turnover. Although my Linked-In profile is practical in nature, it cannot convey the full level of my eagerness to help companies who are struggling with turnover and loss of productivity due to employee disengagement as well as continue to find synergies in procurement and purchasing. You will find that I am a rapid learner with a great deal of excitement and enthusiasm in all my endeavors.
