Strategic Buyer/Planner at IOA Health Care, sourcing production materials and planning new product lines.

At IOA Health Care, I source capital equipment, consumables, raw materials, metals, fasteners, and chemicals, and manage purchasing for an upcoming plant move. I also plan and schedule new product lines and customer mockup designs.

At Dedon US, I managed domestic cushion and fabric procurement, sourced raw materials, and coordinated weekly production planning for 7,000+ SKUs. I also managed drop ship logistics and partnered with an Asian manufacturing location on planning and procurement.

Earlier, I handled strategic and operational purchasing across healthcare, manufacturing, and telecommunications. My work included vendor management, purchase orders, sourcing, and supply chain planning.
