About Amy Wilen

Being a Partner, what does that mean? In relationships, many try to have the upper hand or advantage but to truly be a partner all parties need to be satisfied. My goal is to meet my customer\'s needs, represent my Suppliers (Partners) in the best way possible and make sure the processes that make up Avnet are adhered to. Building a solid foundation to base a relationship, on is paramount in this equation. I build on my dependability, my thoroughness, my thinking \"outside the box\" abilities, and the need to coordinate all parties to satisfaction. I am determined and organized. I understand why my product is superior and where to market it to gain the most visibility. Based on past experiences I approach work a bit differently. I see actions as if they are on a P&L sheet. My actions are either generating money or costing money. I am driven by goals, that sometimes are self-imposed. I like data that can be measured and often times I use that info to set new goals.I have been fortunate to work with some wonderful mentors, teachers, and friends. Each position I have held has come with praise and added responsibility. Goals that were set were always met and exceeded before deadlines. Proving that with thorough communication, teamwork and the desire to excel any goal is attainable.Specialties: Processes, scheduling, networking, budgeting, cost analysis, team building, event planning, training, and organization.
