SUPPLY CHAIN PROFESSIONAL
I have a passion for solving problems through continuous improvement processes. One of which is eliminating sole sources and also creating cost savings through leveraging supplier competition and contract negotiations. I know how to think outside the box when creating solutions for hard to find parts or by reworking obsolete parts into ones that are usable. Because continuous improvement is a passion I apply incessantly to my everyday processes, it improves the overall bottom line for my employer while continually improves me as a value added employee allowing me to accomplish both corporate and personal goals.
