About Adam Bauer

For the past 15 years, I have been in the trenches of sourcing and procurement. From managing medical drugs for an $80 billion company to managing technology supplies for America\'s #1 closeout retailer, I have gained a lot of experience and know-how in the world of strategic sourcing and procurement. My interpersonal skills separate me from most sourcing professionals who only worry about the numbers instead of the relationship. Through my negotiating skills, I have the ability to make sellers feel comfortable that they are dealing with an honest, friendly person who is looking out for, not only himself, but the integrity of both companies.
