Additional Information

I am interested in obtaining a senior level position that takes advantage of my broad background of skills including, Supplier Management, Logistics, Strategic Sourcing, Supplier Development, Contract Negotiations, Contract Management, Risk Assessment and Mitigation, Regulatory Compliance, Internal and External Audit support, and Material Cost Estimating for proposal development; both domestic and international, in a variety of business types and industries. If you desire a candidate that can seamlessly integrate Supply Chain, Material Planning and Logistics with Engineering, Quality, Operations, and Project Management, to enhance overall performance this fits well with my experience and comfort level.

The breadth and diversity of my background in multiple industries demonstrates my ability to balance Operations, Project Management and Technical requirements; communicating effectively across organizational disciplines in any environment. A skilled and qualified Logician or Contract Manager must be able to draw on all of these, build effective teams and use the strengths of its members.
