About Alex Borst
A grandson of immigrant dairy farmers, I’ve spent my career bridging the gap between small producers and large-scale markets — helping local and regional supply chains compete in a globalized food economy. With 8 years of procurement and category management experience, I specialize in building vendor networks, negotiating contracts, and optimizing ERP-driven purchasing systems for efficiency, traceability, and margin performance. I’ve helped guide purchasing strategy and strengthen supplier relationships while improving how information flows through our ERP and planning systems. My approach blends data-driven analysis with genuine relationship-building. I’m as comfortable dissecting category spend in Power BI as I am walking a packing line with a grower. I value transparency, collaboration, and long-term partnerships that strengthen both business results and community resilience. I’m motivated by the idea that procurement can be both strategic and ethical — leveraging systems thinking, technology, and trust to create supply chains that perform better for everyone involved.
