About Asia F.
With over four years of experience in supply chain and operations, I am a Procurement Engagement Manager at Microsoft, where I integrate business specifications and requirements into RFP and RFI processes for the Customer Success Engineering and Business Development and Strategic Ventures team. I support business engagements for low-risk or well-defined business areas or purchasing categories, while advising on supply solutions, strategies, business requirements, and priorities. I leverage my skills in procurement, project management, and teamwork to collect and analyze relevant data to identify Microsoft business and procurement needs, and to rationalize suppliers and program strategies that deliver effective supplier use. Previously, I was a Business Program Manager at Microsoft, where I architected standard and out of warranty device and accessory policies for all new and existing products, promoting an improved end of life strategy, ensuring compliance, increasing CSAT, and unblocking sales. I am personally committed to fostering diverse and inclusive work environments through public speaking and servant leadership.
