Sr Supply Chain Manager Buy.com Aliso Viejo, CA Buy.com was a "pure-play" internet reseller, with no inventory, no warehouses and no regular means of dealing with the everyday logistics and distribution problems that come with the territory of internet retailing.  As Senior Supply chain manager, I developed supply chain partners and automation solutions with our logistics and distribution partners, including United Stationers, Las Vegas Golf, Ingram Micro, and BrightPoint to name a few. Sr Product Manager / Supply Chain Onvia.com Seattle, WA Onvia.com started out as a internet reseller, but evolved into an online marketplace for resellers and service providers to bid on Government Bids and Contract. As one of the earlier employees of the company, I helped establish and integrate distribution partnerships for both Canada (where the company started) and the USA operations.   Director of Purchasing and IT Monk Office Supply, Victoria BC Canada Monk had all the advantages and disadvantages of a family owned business. While at Monk I drove the company's growth in the use of technology as a tool to automate, manage and streamline an otherwise inefficient operation. As Director of Purchasing and IT, I brought Monk into the 90's developing it's sales, distribution and purchasing systems, as well as establishing monk.ca as one of the very first internet office products dealers (that's before OfficeDepot.com or Staples.com too).  Product Manager and Buyer Shaben International Inc, Edmonton Canada In 1992 Shaben  became western Canada's Largest Toy and Stationery distributor and jobber for the Drug and Grocery Store trade.  As Product Manager and Buyer, I established Shaben's import programs for non-toy categories, including bringing on National Distribution deals such as Timex, and Pentech.  Since the software for managing the open-to-buy of thousands of SKU's did not exist, I wrote my own forecasting software, inventory management and purchasing software, that is still in use today. Director of Purchasing and Distribution S.P. Richards (Norwestra Division) Vancouver Canada Back in 1990, while at S.P. Richards, (Norwestra at the time), I helped evolve the company from a small, family run distribution business, to the largest distributor of commercial office products in Canada. At Norwestra, I developed their first CP (Computerized Purchasing) Software, allowing Norwestra's customers to browse and order office products through and online software tool running on a DOS platform.  Purchasing Coordinator Victoria BC (Canada) Attorney General In regular Government Service at the Provincial level from 1983 to 1987, I used the opportunity to further my education, and develop my skills in Purchasing and Inventory Management, Materiel and Contract Management, and Financial Management and Control. Deputy Sheriff Prince George BC and Smithers BC As one of the youngest Deputy Sheriff's in the Province of BC,  I work in the small town of Smithers. The experience there exposed me to legal process, the civil and criminal justice system and the regulations and laws that direct our actions and decisions.
