What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead procurement and sourcing work where I can improve margins, strengthen supplier partnerships, optimize stock levels, and support reliable global supply chains.

At Conexwest, I manage end-to-end procurement across sourcing, purchasing, contract negotiation, supplier management, and demand forecasting. I develop cost-saving procurement strategies, negotiate supplier pricing, and maintain vendor relationships that support quality, reliability, and compliance.

Previously, I led procurement teams against quarterly margin, stock-level, and data-processing objectives, while identifying suppliers with favorable pricing and credit terms. My work includes supplier evaluations, audits, market monitoring, strategic sourcing, cost analysis, and ensuring goods are available on time.

I've also managed footwear purchasing and supply for major accounts including Nordstrom, TJX, Famous Footwear, and Burlington, coordinating with production teams in Mexico and China. Earlier, I sourced vendors and negotiated stock opportunities for international store divisions across the US, Australia, and northern Europe.
