About Lauren Jenkins Hatcher

I am extremely motivated and enjoy challenging myself. I view each day as an opportunity to experience something new and exciting and to learn from the experience. I am a talented Senior Buyer with experience in Subcontracts Administration, project management, purchasing, and inventory management in a team setting. I have also worked in Georgia-Pacific Building Products’ procurement capability as a Stores Associate, Stores Lead, and Buyer in Hosford, Taylorsville, Allendale, and Clarendon. I have focused on purchasing software for Leidos\' Strategic Sourcing for nearly five years, served as an SCA for a year under Leidos\' National Security sector, and now serve as a Senior Software Buyer in Leidos\' Strategic Sourcing. In the future, I desire to serve as a leader for women in business. Service to my community is of utmost importance, and this is what drives me to serve as a female business leader.
