I am an experienced professional with history working both within an international Supply Chain organization and supporting such organizations from the outside. I've worked for dynamic organizations including a large, international energy company and smaller tech firms. In my diverse experience in the supply chain field, I've also provided support to both buyers and suppliers for on-premise enterprise solutions (e.g., SAP) and cloud solutions (e.g., OpenInvoice). This support ranged from long-term implementation projects, to invoice error resolution, to supplier training, to catalog management, to system configs, to process improvement and account management. As a service provider, I've worked with a diverse customer base covering the oil & gas, energy, petrochemical, banking, agricultural, consumer goods, and food industries, routinely supporting multiple customers at once.More recently, I gained valuable experience within an international supply chain organization as a category manager for IT. Here I negotiated contracts, regularly collaborated with other business units, managed POs & pricebooks, managed supplier relationships, ensured compliance with procurement processes, sourced & evaluated new suppliers, and helped directly reduce costs. This along with my prior experience has given me a well-rounded view of Procurement and SCM as a vendor, a buyer, a consultant supporting SCM technology & solutions, and a category manager. This unique perspective has proven highly valuable for understanding the needs and challenges of supply chain organizations and how different solutions can best serve those needs and meet those challenges.Additionally, as a naturally analytical person with strong communication skills and a knack for understanding problems, I have routinely played the role of liaison between business lines and more technical groups such as developers and solution architects, communicating the needs of end-users into actionable product/process improvements and fixes.Key Skills: Problem Solving | Communication | Collaboration | Decision Making | Multi-tasking | Learning & Understanding | Teaching & Training | Process Improvement | IT Procurement | Negotiations | Contracting | Sourcing | Vendor Management | Customer Support | Account Management | LEAN | Continuous ImprovementTechnical Skills: Microsoft Office | Microsoft Excel | SAP | SAP BW | PowerBI | OpenInvoice | Hubwoo Business Network | eInvoicing | eCatalogs | eSourcing | Punchout Catalogs | Electronic Document Transfer | EDI | XML | RPA
