Jessie Nugent

I have the demonstrated ability to maximize supply chain management ROI while controlling expenses and inventory and utilizing my analytical, budgetary and strategic planning skills to achieve optimal results. My broad background includes hands-on experience in accounts payable, accounts receivable, vendor negotiations, cost-containment, bank relations and human resources. My outstanding communication skills allow me to successfully negotiate with domestic and international vendors, suppliers and freight forwarders to achieve high margins and profitability while ensuring compliance with state and federal regulations. With experience in product research, development and sourcing, I have developed new categories and resources in market segments including precision balances, bathroom and kitchen scales. I have directed branded and private-label purchasing while managing product development in an evolving, technically-driven market. As a Procurement Professional, I am always interested in connecting with others to keep apprised of the current trends and new developments in purchasing, operational management and product development.
