Thomas Purath, an Operations Manager in Germany.  In July, Thomas completed all six of the Senior Professional in Supply Management^® Program courses!

“I’ve been working in several management positions in marketing, sales and operations for 15 years. In my latest position, I was responsible for operations at Philips Consumer Lighting in the German, Swiss and Austrian market. For further career development, I was looking for condensed training material on strategic purchasing that could be “digested” within a manageable time frame. Finally, I selected the SPSM^® Program, because it was perfectly sized for that purpose. It gives a nice and handy framework even for experienced supply chain professionals who frequently got in touch with purchasing as an interface but had little experience in conducting the function by themselves”

Next Level Purchasing and the procurement community around the world congratulate Thomas and his dedication to having a more successful purchasing career!
