I am a purchasing and sales professional with 5 years of purchasing experience in areas such as proposal preparation, negotiation, tender management, supplier relationships, supplier performance management, contract management, order management, and reporting. Utilized advanced Excel skills to contribute to cost analysis, budget control, and process performance reporting.
