Objective:
With 20 years experience in the purchasing and
inventory management field, I feel
ready to explore the expansion of my innovative
personality and opportunities a growing firm has to
offer. I know I can be of value to the company.
More than 15 years of my experience has been with
the E3 Inventory Management software products.
The ability to provide supervisory leadership,and
function as part of an executive team,and to
produce results quickly and efficiently, balancing
the need and the urgency. A knowledge of US
Customs, and the needs of my customers, both
foreign and domestic has been invaluable, since I
purchased and imported products worth more than
$8 million a year. Inventory control of $15 million of
goods required closely working with product
designers, vendors, shippers, even the producers of
rawmaterials. All of this was done while assuring
that all quality standards for my customers were
met for all 6000 items from 300 different vendors.
Detailed understanding of how inventory
management, replenishment, cost and accounting
systems function together as an intertwined unit. A
thorough knowledge of IBM computer systems,
34, 36, System4 and AS400, as well as Microsoft
Software has been an absolute necessity.
Appreciating that your time is valuable, I would
welcome the opportunity to discuss, personally, my
capabilities. I look forward to hearing from you to
arrange an appointment at a mutually
convenient time.
