What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a purchasing, procurement, buyer, purchasing manager, or supply chain role where I can lower costs, strengthen supplier performance, optimize inventory, and improve operational efficiency through strategic sourcing and financial analysis.

I've led purchasing, procurement, inventory, and international operations across Paramount Bed USA, Fujiseiki USA, Kyosha America Corporation, and other manufacturing and distribution environments.

At Kyosha America Corporation, I delivered more than $1 million in annual purchasing savings through strategic sourcing and supplier negotiations, while reducing inventory from approximately $2 million to $500,000 through stronger forecasting, purchasing controls, and inventory-management processes.

I bring an operational and financial perspective to supplier management, purchasing, logistics, cost analysis, accounts payable, and inventory planning. I'm fluent in Japanese and English, advanced in Spanish, and experienced with SAP, Macola, AS400, Avante, QuickBooks, and Excel.
