Monica Moore is a Strategic Sourcing at Kaiser Permanente. Colleagues describe her as "Monica was my direct manager. Monica’s management style encouraged me to do my best work. She trusted her team to get their work done (i.e. no micro managing) but was always there to help with any project. She was instrumental in my career growth and development. I learned so much from Monica. She has a strong background in sourcing, product development, and negotiation and was always willing to share her knowledge. She was extremely fair with our vendors, which enabled us to build strong relationships with them. She was very resourceful and came up with creative solutions to the issues that inevitably arise in product development and production. I was so sad to lose Monica as my manager and would love to work for her again! She’s an asset to any team that she is on!" and "Monica is an excellent supply chain leader. Her ease with negotiations, vendor relationships, strategic procurement ideas and always keeping the best interest of the company as well as vendors in mind,helped her build a strong vendor base and a great deal of respect at Solazyme. She is patient, hardworking and can successfully build an A- team. Any company would be lucky to have her. "
