Erika B.

As a Strategic Purchasing Agent I manage procurement operations for five distribution centers and handle high-value special orders for clients like Georgia-Pacific and Kimberly-Clark. I use Excel, Power BI, and Qlik daily to analyze supplier performance, manage minimum order quantity (MOQ) requirements, and support data-driven purchasing decisions. A key part of my role involves making daily PO corrections, collaborating with vendors to resolve discrepancies, and ensuring clean, accurate order execution. I also take raw data from suppliers and format it to fit our system requirements, allowing us to properly upload and manage MOQ data across our platforms. I thrive in environments where I can streamline processes, solve complex supply chain issues, and improve cross-functional workflows. I’m passionate about leveraging data, driving continuous improvement, and building the operational foundation needed to lead effectively. I’m actively preparing for the next step in my career: a management role where I can guide teams and shape procurement strategy at a higher level.
