Tasha Williams
@tashawilliams1
Senior supply chain operations and strategic sourcing leader driving cost savings and global continuity.
What I'm looking for
I’m a global supply chain operations manager and procurement lead with 18+ years leading commodity management, strategic sourcing, BOM costing, and international supply chain operations across APAC, EMEA, and domestic markets.
I direct cross-functional procurement and commodity management teams, managing $15M+ in annual purchase orders and delivering $2M+ in documented cost savings. I bring proven ISO 13485 and FDA-regulated environment experience, with disciplined materials pricing analysis, supplier negotiations, and commodity strategy development—backed by SAP and NetSuite ERP execution.
From RFx sourcing cycles and BOM analysis through port operations, ocean freight, and outbound FTL/LTL coordination, I keep supply moving with strong supplier partnerships. I currently lead end-to-end procurement and operations, overseeing inbound port activities, multi-warehouse inventory management, and carrier/freight broker relationships for a global import slate operation with Spain-based parent company alignment.
