Throughout my tenure as a Purchasing Manager, I thrived on challenging the status quo. My passion for improvement led me to constantly source new products and services, always exploring alternatives to the established norms. This approach allowed me to optimize workflows, set strategic initiatives, and steer the direction of our department.My primary responsibility was to strike a balance between cost and quality. I successfully managed to lower costs without compromising the quality of the products we received. This included a wide range of categories such as MRO, IT, Outside Services, Contract Manufacturing, Raw Materials, and CapEx.Building effective working relationships was a significant part of my role. I collaborated with a diverse group of purchasing agents, both in person and virtually. These collaborations not only improved our efficiency but also led to more creative and beneficial solutions.I am particularly proud of my role as a Project Manager in 2019 and 2020. In 2019, I successfully led the implementation of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, completing the project on time and within budget. The following year, I managed the implementation of a Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) manufacturing ERP system, which was also completed on time and even under budget.
