About Sam Degrace
As an New Product Development Sourcing Specialist at MSA, I\'m primarily responsible for finding and negotiating with best-fit suppliers that will help keep our NPD projects on track and within budget. Before that, I worked as a Buyer where I collaborated internationally with our affiliate plants to ensure timely arrival of finished goods and components into our main US distribution center. I have additional professional buying experience as a Purchasing Agent with homebuilder DRB Homes. I obtained my Bachelor of Business Administration degree from the University of Pittsburgh, where I majored in Supply Chain Management and Business Information Systems. I also hold a Six Sigma Yellow Belt Certification and an Effective Negotiating Certificate, which demonstrate my skills and knowledge in process improvement, data analysis, and communication. I am passionate about finding innovative and cost-effective solutions that enhance the efficiency and profitability of the supply chain.
