Background

About Tanja Cote

With over 10 years of experience in production and vendor management, I am a Senior Analyst at CVS Health, where I lead the Payment Term Initiative, a key strategic project that optimizes the company's working capital and cash flow. To achieve this goal, I leverage my procurement and analytical skills to negotiate payment terms with over non-merchandise vendors, resulting in $1.7M in working capital impact benefits in one year. I also refine the Net90 methodology, create informational tools, and serve as a bridge between different departments regarding payment term inquiries. Before joining CVS Health, I was a Production Manager and Trade-show Manager at Alashan Cashmere, a leading textiles company. There, I managed the production of all orders overseas, communicating daily with five vendors and creating tracking spreadsheets that improved the production SOP and increased on-time deliveries and PO fulfillment by 10-15%. I also handled trade show operations, customer service inquiries, and schedule changes. I am fluent in German and English.
