Message

At Lithia Motors & Driveway, I supported enterprise technology purchasing across dealership and corporate locations in the United States and Canada. Through inventory governance, redeployment, and supplier coordination, I helped reduce supplier-held excess hardware inventory exposure by roughly $3M.

I negotiated HP pricing and warranty concessions, supported acquisition-related purchasing controls, and worked with suppliers and internal teams on hardware, licensing, and RMA needs. In a temporary manufacturing-client assignment with Express Employment Professionals, I purchased production materials and used NetSuite for purchasing activities.
