Background

About McKay Owen

As a professional with diverse experience across purchasing, warehouse management, and team collaboration, at VelociRAX I've had the opportunity to hone my skills in both operations and strategy. As a warehouse manager and assistant purchaser I have a solid track record of managing supply chains, forecasting, and overseeing warehouse operations to ensure seamless processes from procurement to delivery. In my role as a purchaser, I’ve developed an understanding of supplier relationship management, forecasting, and cost optimization. Leveraging data-driven insights and AI tools, I’ve been able to accurately forecast demand and anticipate market trends, allowing me to secure favorable terms while maintaining quality and minimizing excess inventory. As a warehouse manager, I’ve overseen complex inventory management systems, streamlined operations, improved process efficiency, and optimized logistical planning to meet tight deadlines and ensure smooth, cost-effective operations. Collaboration is at the core of my approach. I’ve worked closely with cross-functional teams, aligning goals and sharing knowledge to drive efficiency and productivity. This experience has sharpened my leadership and problem-solving abilities, giving me a unique perspective on balancing operational needs with strategic objectives. Currently pursuing a major in global supply chain at BYU, I’m continually building on my practical experience to develop a broader understanding of international logistics and supply chain strategies.
