management.
• Tracked customer supply and demand to maintain ChemPoint warehouse inventory levels within company
accepted min/max inventory boundaries.
• Partnered with suppliers and end users to meet and exceed individual company ingredient policies set under
FDA/ISO guidelines: this would make or break the initial qualification of a new or different brand product and
stop a sale short due to differing documentation requirements or specifications.
• Aggressively directed RFP and exclusive contract negotiations for any customer at ChemPoint.
• Worked cross functionally with company business units and supplier business units to meet customer demands.

schedule, budget, scope, and scale.

Relevant Accomplishments
• Always met deadlines for sales forecasting, pipeline development, and market presentations to management and
supplier partners.
• Q4 2012 – Met two separate sales goals for food & pharmaceutical team and industrial fluids team: the sales
goals were not adjusted because of split time between sales teams.
