Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Us

Worked closely with suppliers across multiple product categories, sourcing, buying and negotiating challenging inventory, opportunity buys, and/or highly ranked Amazon items. While working with some of the largest manufacturers and retailers in industry, I quickly became a valued partner to my vendors and piers alike. By sourcing products across a multitude of suppliers and industries, I was fortunate to develop relationships with some great companies and gain a better understanding of Amazon's supply chain, as well as other online and evolving marketplaces. Adding value through channel strategy, trusted partnerships, continued dedication to service and supply chain improvement, provided an incredible experience in multiple industries and avenues that I was unable to gain by staying in the Pet Industry exclusively.
