Professional Qualifications:

My current work as a purchasing and sales consultant requires initiative and discipline. Also, the improvement of sales and customer service skills. Prior to consulting, at NAII, the primary objective

was department building. Then, system implementation and the improvement of quality, price, and service through goals and negotiated contracts. At Omni-Pak, later to become GHS, the skill-set

required was the ability to improve departmental efficiencies; this with a company that was doubling sales on a yearly basis. Additionally, accurately forecasting increasing demand. Establishing

secure supply conduits, and purchasing performance measurements. Prior to this, as a warehouse/distribution manager, I was responsible for incoming raw materials and finished goods

distribution. From RM supplier performance, storage and organization, to customer on-time delivery.
