Wendy Brigss
@wendybrigss
I manage international purchasing, supplier sourcing, and inventory planning for high-volume retail products.
What I'm looking for
I manage end-to-end international purchasing for Gerardo Ortiz e Hijos in Ecuador, supporting inventory analysis, supplier sourcing, quotation evaluation, negotiation, purchase orders, and follow-up across high-volume consumer product SKUs.
I work directly with international suppliers across time zones to keep production timelines, delivery commitments, and open issues moving. I compare pricing, availability, lead times, and supplier conditions to support structured sourcing decisions.
I use SAP and Excel to analyze demand, plan replenishment, manage product master data, and prepare landed-cost and profitability analyses. I also resolve barcode, labeling, and product-data issues before products reach stores.
Previously, I managed beauty brands at Las Fragancias and purchased raw materials for Lamitex S.A. I bring fluent English and Spanish communication, supplier coordination, and practical AI-assisted research and reporting to international procurement work.
