@cristinamartinez3
I reduce sourcing costs, strengthen supplier performance, and improve procurement operations.
What I'm looking for
At Academy Sports + Outdoors, I manage global sourcing across 11 Sports & Recreation categories, negotiating supplier pricing, executing aggregate buys, managing import delivery milestones, and developing tariff mitigation strategies through country-of-origin analysis and supplier diversification.
Previously at Sunny Sky Products, I reduced procurement cycle times by 40% and delivered $280K in annual savings through supplier bidding improvements while managing relationships with 200+ suppliers. My accounting background includes budgeting, audits, reconciliations, financial reporting, internal controls, inventory analysis, and process improvements that strengthen accuracy and operational performance.
