About Matthew Flanagan
Results-oriented supply chain enthusiast with 5+ years in international logistics, eager to pivot my expertise in spend analysis, negotiation, and operational coordination into procurement excellence. I\'ve thrived in fast-paced environments, turning supplier partnerships and cost optimizations into tangible business wins—skills that directly fuel effective sourcing and vendor management. Starting in export operations, I streamlined global shipments by managing compliance and documentation for LCL processes, reducing delays and risks akin to qualifying suppliers in procurement. As International Account Manager, I negotiated with freight forwarders, expanded networks, and cut costs through timeline optimizations—mirroring contract negotiations and supplier evaluations. In sales and business development roles, I nurtured accounts via targeted spend analysis, driving revenue growth and fostering resilient partnerships that emphasize value over price. To solidify my transition, I passed the CPSM Exam 1 (Supply Management Core) in July 2025 and am pursuing full ISM certification, building on my Bachelor of Applied Science in Economics from the University of South Carolina. This foundation sharpens my analytical edge for data-driven procurement decisions. Passionate about innovative sourcing strategies? Let\'s connect! I\'m excited to bring my logistics-honed acumen to your procurement team.
