Procurement and supply chain professional driving cost-effective supplier performance.
What I'm looking for
I am a procurement and supply chain professional with hands-on experience managing domestic sourcing, supplier relationships, and project delivery for promotional products. I focus on negotiating favorable terms, ensuring quality, and meeting deadlines within budgetary constraints.
At Active Life Promo I advanced from Account Project Manager to Domestic Procurement Manager, developing supplier performance metrics, managing purchase orders, and coordinating cross-functional teams to deliver projects on time and to specification.
I am completing a B.S. in Supply Chain and Operations Management and bring strengths in negotiation, inventory and purchase order management, budget control, and client relationship building—skills I apply to reduce cost, minimize waste, and improve supplier performance.
