In looking around for training to attain your purchasing and procurement credentials, many questions come to mind. “What makes you think YOU are qualified to teach ME?”
Prior to founding Next Level Purchasing in 2000, I acquired about 1o years of results-producing experience in purchasing at the Kurt J. Lesker Company, US Airways, and the University of Pittsburgh and saved those organizations tens of millions of dollars.
Through the online purchasing classes that I have developed for Next Level Purchasing, I have trained purchasing professionals from multi-billion dollar organizations throughout North America, South America, the Caribbean, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia/Oceania.
I am frequently recruited to deliver educational seminars for purchasing associations and private companies throughout the US.
I have taught eBusiness and Certified Purchasing Manager Exam Review classes for Penn State University and the University of Pittsburgh. Since 2002, I have served on the board of directors for ISM’s Pittsburgh affiliate.
I have earned the Certified Purchasing Manager and Senior Professional in Supply Management purchasing certifications. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from Duquesne University.
