  • Mar 2017 - Aug 2019

  Setup a good framework by using strong communication and problem solving. This nourished a great relationship with both internal and external stakeholders. Over the course of my time there I successfully managed and negotiated an over $135 million budget saving 35% by strategically sourcing vendors from all over the United States and globe, for various projects from marketing to IT to electrical charging units. Working from start to finish on projects from the RFP/RFQ/RFI stage, through contract negotiation, purchase orders, change orders when necessary, helping to clear invoices and making sure accounts payable had everything they need to close the process. While still following our internal process we still found ways to expedite and use strategic buying skills. Managing multiple projects in a quick pace environment at one time and managing and training teammates when needed to keep a balanced team. A subsidiary of Volkswagen Group of America. Show less
