Joanna Yang

Sourcing Specialist @ Wistron

About

At Wistron, as a Sourcing Specialist, I oversee the procurement of server cables, focusing on supplier relationships to align sourcing strategies with business goals. My responsibilities include evaluating suppliers to optimize technical, cost, quality, and delivery capabilities, negotiating contracts, and monitoring market trends to identify cost-saving opportunities. I collaborate with cross-functional teams, including R&D, production, and quality, to ensure organizational alignment and efficiency. Previously, as a Procurement Buyer at Wistron, I managed procurement processes for connectors and power supplies, leveraging SAP for order management and production coordination. With a Bachelor's degree in Economics from Waseda University, I bring a global perspective and strong analytical skills to supply chain management, cost optimization, and supplier negotiation. My work is driven by a commitment to detail and a strategic approach to achieving procurement objectives.
