Introduction:
As a purchasing veteran with 25 years of experience in the procurement field I offer a well-rounded understanding of both the process itself and the mental acuity required for any role under the purchasing umbrella.
An effective Purchasing”team” embraces all departments equally and this is an example of what I bring to an organization … a collective unity and a fair playing field. Team members include both internal and external customers each member contributing to a mutually satisfactory outcome.
