Bio
Joel Huggins
I worked with Adina at Macy’s on our Strategic Sourcing team for nearly 1.5 years. In the very first meeting we had as a team after she came on board, it was quickly evident that she was the smartest person in the room. I often said that her brain is like a million microprocessors functioning at peak capacity because her ability to understand and adopt a concept, situation or procedure was nearly immediate. She is tenacious, but fair in negotiations and is always thinking 2 steps ahead during the negotiation process. Adina has an ability to quickly recognize stakeholder/customer intent and tie that to strategic objectives both within the internal team and to broader corporate goals. With vendors, she is honest and tactful but has an innate ability to get straight to the main obstacles, explaining a given position in a cooperative manner, while actively listening to and quickly forming rebuttals or constructive feedback on alternative proposals. She will not back down from a negotiation yet consistently seeks a win-win situation for both parties. Adina is also a team player, looks for and draws out the best in others and is a very welcoming teammate and friend. She is undoubtedly on my short list of people I would love to work with again. I wholeheartedly recommend Adina based on her many valuable skills.

Zichao worked on several analytical tasks to derive business insights using large data sets for me during her tenure at Cox Automotive. She is a fast learner and takes initiative to complete tasks on time with great quality. I am happy to recommend her based on her work ethic and willingness to go the extra mile to deliver outstanding work product.
