What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead procurement, international logistics, inventory planning, and process-improvement work where I can strengthen supplier performance, improve data accuracy, reduce supply risk, and support efficient global operations.

I've led procurement and international logistics at Sewn Products Inc. / Neff Jostens since 2019, coordinating supplier performance, inventory requirements, material flow, and import/export documentation across multinational operations.

I review Bills of Lading, Packing Lists, Commercial Invoices, Air Waybills, Certificates of Origin, and shipment records; validate purchasing and inventory data; resolve discrepancies; and negotiate supplier terms to improve cost, quality, lead times, and delivery performance.

Across 18 years in manufacturing and supply chain operations, I've built procurement strategies, planned materials, prevented production downtime, mentored junior buyers, and supported ERP workflows, KPI reporting, and process improvement.
