About Tanasa Hendricks

As a Purchasing Director with 10+ years of experience, I drive $MM procurement contracts, lead large-scale cost-cutting initiatives, and seamlessly execute end-to-end purchasing cycles.Throughout my career, I drove the globalization of supply chains. This is evident from my experience as a Purchasing Director at Logomark, where I set up an office in a foreign nation, which served as a liaison between the local office and suppliers in the Asian market. This involved establishing a long-term vision, hiring staff, and leading the rollout of an internal reporting system. I also maintained compliance with the country’s regulatory requirements.A reason for my success is systemizing workflows and driving cost control by developing and implementing best-in-class technological systems. At Logomark, for instance, I created a freight calculator, which incorporated all factors that impact freight expenses. This enabled the purchasing department to accurately determine landed cost and freight budget.I also maintain competitive edge in the industry by continuously monitoring the latest e-commerce trends and aligning the purchasing operations with them.Here are some of my other accomplishments at Logomark- Cut down operational costs and reduced reliance on logistics vendors by shifting to in-house trucking operations- On track to mitigate supplier risk and lower supply costs by onboarding 2 secondary suppliers- Recovered defective products’ cost by implementing a reject system.If you are looking for someone who can develop and direct initiatives to reduce supply chain risks and procurement costs, email me: thend2020@icloud.com.Key Skills: Operations Management, Procurement Planning & Management, Departmental Vision Establishment, Supplier Relationship Management, Process Enhancement, Business Expansion Initiatives, Price Negotiation, Budgeting & Forecasting, BOM, Tariff Scheduling, Integrated ERP Systems, Cross-Functional Collaboration.
