About

I’m a results-oriented operations and purchasing professional with over 5 years of experience in inventory management, procurement, supply chain coordination, and vendor relations across industrial, manufacturing, and e-commerce environments. My background includes managing high-volume purchasing and inventory systems, negotiating with vendors to control costs, and implementing improvements that streamline warehouse and fulfillment processes. I’ve led initiatives that increased efficiency, reduced stockouts, and enhanced overall customer satisfaction. I thrive in fast-paced environments where cross-functional collaboration is key. I bring a balance of hands-on warehouse knowledge and strategic sourcing insight, backed by strong communication skills and a deep commitment to continuous improvement. Currently seeking new opportunities in purchasing, procurement, or supply chain management near Monroe, NC. If you’re looking for a detail-driven professional who delivers value from the supply chain to the bottom line, I’d love to connect. 📬 Let’s talk: Stewartdc704@gmail.com
