About Kate Jolley
As a strategic sourcing and product development professional, I play a critical role in the product lifecycle. Partnering with vendors and suppliers, I ensure the timely production of raw materials into delivered finished goods. My experience spans small wholesalers to Fortune 500 brands to include successes in launching new products, driving down unit costs, problem-solving challenges, and generating revenue. I serve as a trusted business partner and guide best-practice procurement strategies. I dig into business needs, evaluate suppliers, calculate cost/benefit analysis, and negotiate contracts. Gaining consensus from internal stakeholders, I keep the team aligned in a common direction to achieve overall quality and objectives. LET’S CONNECT! I am always happy to share my expertise, and I look forward to connecting with you!
