Lucinda Taylor

Procurement Manager with a proven ability to secure, manage and maintain continuity of Supply Chain while achieving significant cost savings in a multimillion-dollar environment. Thriving in this fast paced everchanging work environment required and promoted creative thinking and teamwork. This was hugely motivating to me and inspired collaborative effort resulting in strong and enduring synergistic relationships with both internal and external customers. Building and maintaining Supplier relationships contributed to the gross profit margin through negotiated package buys, special returns, risk management and reduction of excess inventory. Maintaining an Inventory position at the right cost supported that initiative resulting in increased sales, market share and line expansion ...benefiting all. Experienced Manager, Team Leader, and Trainer of up to 35 members for two separate entry level departments with proven leadership and mentoring capabilities. Monitored and evaluated KPIs and provided performance updates and direction to get team members to the next level.
