Background

About Jackson Tuala

As a dedicated Procurement and Operations Specialist at Ārepa, my focus on managing a substantial $5 million annual spend portfolio has been a testament to my adeptness in commercial analysis and contract negotiations. My work has encompassed end-to-end RFP processes, sourcing, and project management, particularly in NPD and EDI implementations, all while ensuring quality data management and efficient production with co-packers. My academic foundation in Data Science, through a Graduate Diploma from Auckland University of Technology, complements my Bachelor's in Supply Chain & Operations from Victoria University of Wellington, enhancing my analytical capabilities. These competencies have been invaluable in navigating the FMCG sector, where I've championed strategic procurement and supply chain management, contributing to Ārepa's growth beyond its start-up phase.
